emotional reflective

5.0

One of my favorite things about poetry is how someone can write about something so personal and specific to their own experience, and yet you read it and feel instantly seen. As Madisen writes in the acknowledgments, “You found me, took my hand, and said, ‘I feel this too. You’re not the only one.’” This collection is raw, tender, and honest in a way that my poet’s heart really connected with, and I will definitely be revisiting these poems in the future.

so many of these poems feel like they were taken from the parts of my heart that i don't let anyone really know. that is to say, MK's poems are so relatable, they are digestable without being too simplistic and it just feels good to read these words and know that i am not alone, nor have i ever been. i will return to her poetry again and again.
