Tara Hardy is one of the rawest poets I've ever read. Her poems almost hurt every time I read one. But I cherish that about her writing. Her work inspires me to write my own, and her subject matter relates to me on a very deep and personal level. Her words may be harsh, but there's a softness and a vulnerability to them as well. She's becoming one of my favorite poets, and I can't wait to read more of her work.

There is a quote on the cover of this book which says "I want to read this book out loud to those I love." This quote perfectly sums up my feelings about Bring Down the Chandeliers. Tara Hardy is beyond gifted with words and beyond cursed with experience. She is among the greatest living poets and should be shared with everyone who feels too much and who copes with words. I cannot give this book enough praise.
