I read this in an hour. I cried. I felt. I mean, the Oh, the FEELS!
So good and recommended for everyone.
So good and recommended for everyone.
This is such an inspirational book. The poems and chapters form a loose link but definitely flow together to tell a story. There is sorrow, joy, wisdom, and so much more.
Amazing poem book. Some short and some long. It told a story along the way.
First time reading a pottery book for leisure and to be honest I don't know what to say. I did not dislike the book but didn't really like or connect with it probably many other people have. Some passage really stood out to me while others fell flat, usually right after I read the good ones. Some felt on the nose and match themes or prose of other poems in the book. I will definitely re read this later in life after reading other pottery to compare and after I have led a fuller life to maybe understand better her perspective.
