I'm getting incredibly tired of this watered-down "poetry" trend started with the likes of Rupi Kaur, in which self-loving advice is randomly broken down into "stanzas" that actually detract from the meanings of the passages. When I see the perfect people,perfect is no longer what I see…I see pressure,I see stress,I see strict regimes and unforgiving schedules. I recommend this book to anyone who is confused about their grief, who struggles and wonders how long it will hurt. Donna Ashworth is such an astute observer of life, and so skilled at capturing the emotions we all feel through her words.With poems such as 'That Thing You Do', 'Through the Ringer' and 'Rope Ladder', Donna helps us to remember that most people in this world are good, and that acts of kindness and love within our individual spheres of influence, however small, all contribute to a better future. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. This book brought me immense comfort, highly recommend for anyone dealing with grief and does not know how to navigate through it. When your head hits the pillow tonight Remember the smiles of the day, the laughter, the warm words… And let everything else go. When the mood strikes, send out all those messages and don’t feel you have to apologise for being quiet.
