Didn’t really resonate with a lot of them at the time of reading but when I’m feeling those ways, this book will be great to go back to! This work didn’t feel cohesive, I found myself really resonating with a singular line, only for the rest of the poem to consist of what seemed like random words thrown together. I bought it when it came out, and I always go back to it when I’m feeling alone or confused during my journey.

From the crushing pain of loss to the elation of new love to the struggle of forging your own path, the messages in this book are ubiquitous, but also distinctly personal to the reader. This book was an amazing read, to be able to feel the emotions and to even get to understand why the character felt certain ways. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

The variety of form in these poems makes it really lovely to read and makes the emotions truly jump off the page. As I mentioned previously, this was more frustrating than anything as I feel this poet has real considerable prospectives.It was beautiful poem book, that deserves to be read, it goes over heartbreak and growing to love yourself which really just stood out to me and at times the small poems of being confused within who we are without the person we love resonated to me.

Ben shares his life struggles and the way he copes and progresses with these situations are simply admiring. This book full of poems and love made me feel so seen, it made figure out feelings that I able to figure out myself. If you’re going through heartbreak you will probably love this book, however as I am not maybe my perspective is harsh.
