Whispers That Stayed by T.Euke

This book was beautiful in talking about the way those that pass remain, the way thing's they said can linger in our thoughts and thing's we see happening around us can cause us to be reminded of them and believe they're signs of them still being with us in a way that they stay with us forever in small ways shaping us as we live on always remembering.

Her Hands Remember Fire: Poems on Healing, Survival, and Becoming by Adisa Noor

This was such an emotionally rich collection of poetry that I found so many relatable including: Healing Is Not Pretty, a poem about how losing people and wounds of the past can linger and make you find your strength and resilience to carry on and protect your peace. The Art Of Stillness, a beautiful poem about the simplicity of just being and not feeling the pressure of constantly needing to be on and doing something draining yourself all the time. Naming Joy, about the feeling of joy and letting it be allowed to happen after putting others before yourself. The Woman I Am Now, was a fantastic poem of empowerment and the way finding peace and silence that comforts you over making you feel lonely. The Language Of Light, was a poem about the beauty and grace light can provide whether natural or artificial and the comfort surrendering you to calm and hope in the hue. It was truly a beautiful well rounded collection of moments drawing emotion in mundane often overlooked situations.

The Darkness Within: An Emotional Poetry Collection of healing from Childhood Abuse by Becky Leigh Gregg

This poetry collection really delves into the deepness of our own individual experiences as humans. Some stand out poems to me were: It Could Have Been Worse, how such a simple phrase can diminish someone's feelings about their pain. The Moon, about the way the moon can be a guard and beauty of nature in the night a comforting presence Are You, was a poem of how you can want to question anyone not helping but still witnessing someone going through an incredibly tough and low time and just stand by and not get involved. This collection is not only a vulnerable honest read, it also shows how simple kindness could change someone's life and experience for the better if we all dare to be more compassionate and kind.

When The Soul Learns To Bloom by Pratima Baro

This collection really leans in to finding the every day beauty in the nature of the world around us ever changing even simply day to night and how love and grief can make us see the world in an altered state to appreciate pain for loving deeply and finding a way to cope and find hope again.

The Words I Could Never Say by Yogesh Chandra

This poetry collection perfectly sums up how you can struggle to be seen for the depths of your emotions are drowning and unending it feels like when no one else can understand why or how you feel the way you do, perfectly fitting the title indeed this collection was.

Whispers for the Unchosen Heart: Between Almosts by T.Euke

This poetry collection talks of the almost and maybe moments, the myth of being chosen or treated as an option, the ache at night of feeling alone with just restless thoughts and questions of why not you in the situation you're in. The repetition of almost over the certainty and the expectations of life that pass by silently avoiding you and the norm life path, so you see the contrast of the pain of being unchosen in thoughts and feelings honestly discussed.

Sad poems for sad girls: A mental struggle by Tierra Ikell

This poetry collection is like having a friend telling you all the tiny things to appreciate in each day to help you feel boosted and brighter from simply enjoying the sun, to appreciating yourself and who you are, each layer of yourself, ones you love, ones you hate that all make us the beautiful messy humans we are.

Unraveling Soulties by Stacey Nicole Douglas

This book was a deeply personal reflection on the cutting relationship told through poetry and a timeline of month's and moment's retold showing the connection and the way it altered and effected them deeply and the limgering effects from being so deep in like with someone and how it can leave you feeling attached still despite trying to come apart from what you were with them.

Whispers: that didn't leave by T.Euke

This was a great book touching on the stillness that settles in life and the closure that is ongoing in feelings that stay in the quiet surrounding us daily and how people, however brief a conversation is, can shape the moment and your life and the impact a few words can have on you as you continue in life word's can echo and remain carried with you.

Based On You by Arisa Hart

This poetry collection focuses on all the ways we can feel love from different people and situations. October and Eager, were two poems on how loving someone can feel powerful. Guts, was an honest poem about loving someone who only lies to you. Mother, was a poem of a mother talking and hoping for her daughter to never feel the weight of comparison like she did growing up. Happy Genes, was a phenomenal poem about everyone having a differing vision of beauty to them and as a white British girl with family around the world with various mixed ethnicities, skin tones, hair types and nationalities is such a relatable poem how every girl and guy has a differing experience in life, good or bad and how we should all just be kind to each other and embrace the beauty of us all being so different. A beautiful collection of poetry especially on loving our differences more in a world that can feel so narrow-minded or superficial sometimes.
