This book of poetry will take you on the heart’s journey of dealing with a deceptive relationship.
From falling madly in love, to being alone in shambles of self-hate and unworthiness, this book will rip down your emotional barricades and have you admitting true feelings that have been shoved to the bottom.
Each poem explores particular feelings; from giddy admiration to self-sabotaging desire, with great use of powerful sensory, and vivid metaphors. The metaphors are masterfully written with the intention to be read steadily to absorb and interpret its meaning wholly.
Each word has been carefully selected to knit the author’s raw truth to the poems. The imagery is very confronting; the truth is oppressive. As you read over again, and again, more achingly wretched surprises will unclothe.
Emily Bock is the writer behind the blog Hippie Thinking. This is her first book of poetry.
