adventurous emotional hopeful inspiring mysterious reflective medium-paced

 This collection of nautical themed poetry was truly beautiful and moving. I am by no means a poetry expert so my thoughts are based on how the words made me feel, what they made me think and contemplate and the quality of the writing. What I got out of the poems was a mental health battle, changing perceptions and personal growth. This was a very powerful collection with each poem building on the previous one. I loved everything from the beautiful cover to the poem formats and illustrations inside. My favorites were the ones with mostly blacked out lines and only a few words. Those few remaining words spoke volumes. I also loved TAKE A BREATH. The author can’t know at this exact moment of my life with my own mental health struggles and doctor visits/therapist visits how this mantra personally affects me and impacts me.
