I felt immediately attracted to this book just with the title and cover. My dad used to write poems and I consider myself an artist in so many ways. I felt identified with this book. What's not to like. A poet with mixed heritage that tells us her life and struggles with themes like social media, depression, toxic relationships, weight gain and fear. Thanks for the free copy and congrats.

I do enjoy reading and sometimes write poetry. For a while though, I've had nothing come in and have been looking for a source of inspiration. I love that this anthology explores a diverse range of themes as against the same ol' romances. I'm quite curious as to how Faulder's multicultural heritage affects her coming of age, after all to some cultures, it's a prestigious gift while to others, a problematic predicament. I can't wait to dive in, thanks for the review.

"All the poems are encapsulated by a nudge of inspiration that is bound to enjoin every reader to live life as their own and on their own terms."it sounds like an inspiration novel to go through.

Never reviewed any poem. The poems seem to be very soothing in the book and moreover I don't have to work hard or spend days to finish this book. I think it's a great book for me. I downloaded the book from Amazon and currently reading it. :techie-studyingbrown:

The author beautifully translated insecurities, struggles, and realities of everyday people into these emotive poems.

I sampled the book on Amazon. Catherine Napalai Faulder has presented the concept of our being in a very delightful form of text. She has written down sweet poems to inspire us to understand who we really are and not just get swayed away with the identification provided by the society. Cheers :) :)

I really enjoy modern poetry, and the themes covered in this collection are close to my heart. I especially like the unique perspective of the poet and am eager to see what she has to say. Thank you for the helpful review.

Now we have to grope through the lines of these pomes in search of life's lessons. Author hangs out her personal experiences for the world to see- that much sacrifice definitely requires attention.
Great review by the way.

I love reading poetry in general and this collection seems like a good choice considering the poet's unique voice and empowering message. The free verse and the postmodernist formatting of the poems are well chosen to describe topics such as identity crisis or personal freedom. Thanks for an interesting review!

I've read enough romantic poems and I think and I am done with it for the meantime. I haven't read a great collection of poems that tackles everyday life so I wouldn't mind giving this a try. Thank you for reviewing it. It's a great help actually.

This is just so timely, I was looking for a poems collection that is a bit conventional. So I am definitely taking this up. Thanks for your review its so insightful and detailed.

I love poetry and when I saw that this collection was also about inspiration and growth, I was thrilled. I could use a little of that in my life right now. Thanks for your insightful review!
