Reseña del libro "I breathe in: Poems of Loss, Love & Hope"
I breathe in: Poems of Loss, Love & Hope 'I breathe in' is an uplifting book of poems in which strength and acceptance overcome sorrow. The poems weave a compelling story of how loss and early trauma affect our lives: A baby is born. Her brother dies soon after. Loss rumbles along unseen until it generates 'earthquakes' that shake her adult life. Passionate poetry erupts of pain, lost love and anger, yet the poet ultimately shares with us an enhanced appreciation for life's beauty within human connections, nature and the body.A book of two parts: The first, 'Earthquakes' leads us through loss and its impacts, from fear and loneliness to relationship breakdowns and despair. The second book, 'Mountains' lifts our spirits to offer us solace through life-affirming themes of love, sex, family and human kindness.A restorative mix of 76 highly relatable and poignant poems: Read them aloud to release their might, quietly to feel their tenderness, or share them as tokens of love and hope.A Breath-taking cover painting by Nemesh: The painting 'Heaven is Place on Earth with you' along with cover design by Rebekka Mlinar and cream interior pages make this a deliciously comforting book you will want to hold and dive into, time after time. Reviews'★★★★ 'A thought-provoking collection of poems that feels both fresh and appropriate for our times.' - Dr Tom Masters, Bournemouth University★★★★ 'Gut-wrenching. It's a deep family wound, you can feel it.' - Sian Griffiths, Journalist
