the princess saves herself in this one is a collection of poetry about resilience. It is about writing your own ending.
From Amanda Lovelace, a poetry collection in four parts: the princess, the damsel, the queen, and you. The first three sections piece together the life of the author while the final section serves as a note to the reader. This moving book explores love, loss, grief, healing, empowerment, and inspiration.
Thanks to Netgalley for a copy of the book in exchange for a review!
Cover: I like the simplicity of this cover. The black and white is easy to read, the font clear, and the format gives an insight as to what is going to be shown in the book itself.
I adore Lovelace's poetry. It plucks the heartstrings and takes us on a journey of a woman that starts out as a sad, scared little girl to a queen of her own destiny. We see heartbreak (so much) and feel so deeply for the narrator.
There is such beautiful and vivid imagery in this book that I find myself dreaming of my own poems, and am inspired to write them down, due to the author's own urging to write your own story, and that poetry can be whatever you want it to be.
