All Down Darkness Wide by Seán Hewitt

challenging dark emotional reflective sad medium-paced

4.75

I bought this book from a market stall in a moment of feeling incredibly lost and looking for something that might show me the way (or at least, a way). I was greeted with long, detailed sentences describing the most haunting scenes in the most beautiful ways and knew I had made the right decision. A very vulnerable and honest recount of love, fear and discovery guided by the poetry of Gerard Manley Hopkins, Karin Boye and others.
