Queen B’s Decree: April is National Poetry Month, and I got this one finished just before the end.
How We Love and How We Grieve had really great formatting. I enjoyed that it starts with the blush of love, the honeymoon period, then it transitions to denial and anger, ending with grief and acceptance. It really flowed well, and I could feel the changes with each poem. It was almost like a stream of consciousness, which is how I write too. Additionally, I really loved the art pieces that separated the stages, it really fit with the theme.
At the end of the day, poetry is still not my favorite thing to read, but this one was an emotional yet enjoyable read. Thank you to the author for the gifted copy.
