Stitching the Soul (Pillow Thoughts IV) by Courtney Peppernell
This is my first time trying Peppernell’s poems. I love her novel Keeping Long Island, which I am sure I talked too much about already. Unfortunately, I am unsure what I am feeling after finishing Stitching the Soul.
A Thousand Mornings by Mary Oliver
I feel guilty for rating it 2 stars. While the thoughts and observance of nature are quite impressive, I have zero connection with Mary’s words. There are still a few lines here and there that I really liked, and I am happy that I had decided to pick up this book to read. However, while the praises for both this book and the poet are high, it is definitely not something that truly calls to me.
the sun and her flowers by rupi kaur
this is a collection of heaviness, disguised in few words that might be mistaken as lightness. yet how can poems sprung from the depth of heart ever be jolly and happy; they can only be warning and warming.
