It's emo angst that should be emblazoned over a picture of a sad girl on the beach and put on Pinterest. Because this.I mean, there's nothing new here. I find minimalist poetry EXTREMELY hit or miss, and when I (VERY RARELY) read poetry, it's usual the lusher, more ornate kind-or at least the more visually creative. That's just not the kind of poetry I respond to. I definitely appreciate the raw emotions that very clearly went into the writing of them, and how personal the author was willing to get about her life. If I saw any of the platitudes expressed in the "you" section on Tumblr, I'd happily reblog them. I love the sentiments and the lessons, and CERTAINLY the feminist ideas at work here. I need to go listen to some Dashboard Confessional STAT. I feel like I just read my middle school AIM away messages or 200 pages of emo Myspace updates. That was.well, not my favorite ever thing. This moving book explores love, loss, grief, healing, empowerment, and inspiration. The first three sections piece together the life of the author while the final section serves as a note to the reader.
