I originally thought I didn’t liked poetry, I’d never felt anything that strong before when reading poems, the one I studied in school was not bad but just not for me. ![]() ![]() Or should I say a poetry collection? All my apologies if I doing this wrong □ So this is my first time reviewing a poetry book. Then when I woke up this morning I had to finish it because it was just too beautiful and important. I started this one yesterday right before bed because I couldn’t sleep and wanted something short to get my eyes on, while waiting for sleep to come. It seems I was lucky enough to get to this book on kindle while it was free for a few days! But it was Laura who first brough this book to my attention some times ago, so thank you very much Laura! □ ( her blog, her instagram) ![]() This collection of poetry explores the realities of multiple identities, language, diasporic life & pain, the self, community, healing, celebration, and love. Salt is a journey through warmth and sharpness. ![]()
