India LaPlace's debut collection of poems is here, I've read a number of her poems in the past and never been let down, so to finally have a collection dedicated to her work is fantastic. There is no surprise that here are some of the best poems you'll ever get to read. India opens her soul to the reader, no holds barred, feelings about her marriage ending are tough to read, you can get a feel of the pain she is going through and how out of control she is. The poems about her daughter are stunning, you see the mother in her awakening as she realises how strong her kid is. And the way she uses words, even a little one like "do" can blow your mind with how powerful she can make it seem. Some of the lines are really haunting:

"I just know that it’s hard not to choke
On all the lies I keep whispering."

Don't miss out on reading this book.
