This is my second time reading a poetry collection from Lang Leav. I had previously read Lullabies and loved it. I’ve also read her novel, Sad Girls, and thought that was just okay.

Basically, I loved this collection. Her poetry is just so beautiful and I love that some of her poems even rhyme

(which you don’t get all that often in contemporary poetry). Her poems are a wonderful blend of contemporary and classical poetry which I think makes it very special. There is an effortless quality to them which I love.

This collection had the theme of water/sea/ocean and I liked that the poems touched upon that without being too much. Not every poem incorporated that theme, but a good chunk of them did. I liked that she didn’t go overboard with that theme, because that sometimes happens in poetry collections and it makes them boring.

I had so many favorites. I’ll list them below:
-Where It Hurts
-Strength
-Writing
-A New Day
-Poetry and Prose
-The Mermaid
-More to Me
-Letter by Letter
-Crazy Love
-Who You Love
-Love What You Love
-Misunderstood
-Writer’s Block
-A Letter to My Love
-Love Poetry
-We the Poets

As you can see, I connected with a lot of her pieces.

Overall, this is a beautiful and enchanting poetry collection!
