Review:This book of short poems will take your breath away. Atticus writes what we are all feeling about love, loss, and being free. No wonder he's considered the World's most tatooable artist. So many great thoughts in gorgeous bite sized poems! Read more

Review:Hard pages, hard cover, small size pages, and of course the colors and whimsy that we all remember from Dr. Seuss. The book is approximately 5" x 6" (no ruler close by), so beginning readers will have a good time reading it without having to hold a heavy book. I let my grandsons hold the book while I read it to them, and when they're ready to read it, I'll be thrilled to just sit and listen. Read more

Review:it's raw with so much emotion (said from a emotional person perspective). I found myself just as in milk and honey marking page after page. However some of it does sound like it was repeating mostly in the first chaper which was hard and rather boring for me to get through. Some pages are one sentence which saddens me as though she was just trying to make the book bigger or needed to fill a page. Read more

Review:As soon as I realized this reading was available via my Kindle, I knew I had to have this Classic. It's always there to soothe, enlighten and give clarity. Thanks Amazon for making this wonderful book available. Read more

Review:"I am writing the best poems of my life... They will make my name." --Sylvia Plath, on the Ariel poems
It is a pity that Sylvia Plath is so underestimated--most people I know have never heard of her, and those who have dismiss her as an angry feminist who committed suicide. It is a sacrilege to sum up her person so: Plath is one of the most important poets of our century, and Ariel her most important work.
In it one can find the famous poems "Daddy", in which Plath shakes loose her restrai... Read more

Review:Daley-Ward's words are exquisite. It's like having your favorite chocolate bar melt in your mouth. I couldn't put it down until it was done. She is a masterful storyteller with great imagery, who knows how to make words dance on the page. At the same time, everything she writes is so breathtakingly honest, and feels so relatable. So human. As if the person who wrote this could be my best friend, or the woman sitting next to me on the train. Her work is nothing short of genius and deserves more ... Read more

Review:My favorite ones are Conversations About Home and Ugly. Warsan Shire has the most amazing way of expressing the beauty of desperate pain and agony. Breast cancer, rape, war, displacement, belonging, she muses the pains that mothers and daughters feel in such a breathtaking flow of language. Read more

Review:I got this on a whim. It's 2am and I should be asleep, but this was free and I knew nothing about it so I downloaded it and devoured it.

I could say all the pretty words like "It's moving" or "heart-wrenching" or "touching", but that would be doing this book a disservice because this is so much more than any eloquent review could do justice.

I feel like my heart let out a sigh of relief for someone being able to put into words what I never knew I needed to hear.

This was bea... Read more
