I’ve been dipping in and out of She is Fierce for quite a number of months now and finally put some real effort into finishing it off for the last few weeks. I really loved the themes and poems chosen by Sampson, there was huge variety and diversity within the collection.
I’ve never tabbed as many pages in a book before and discovered so many new authors and beautiful, funny, inspiring poems within this lovely book. There were a number I didn’t quite click with or understand, but that’s only natural with a collection this large and varied.
Overall, I thought it was a wonderful little collection and I will absolutely be returning to its different sections when I feel the need to. I don’t read a huge amount of poetry usually but this really makes me see the appeal. A very well enjoyed book!
