'Do yourself a favour: buy this, curl up in your favourite chair and read it, knowing you will come away refreshed.' Life is a complex thing. As social beings, we live side by side, sometimes in not so harmonious circumstances. This book celebrates love and tackling the challenges we face as humans. Control is not always ours. Keep learning.
Keep growing.
Be yourself.
Do your best. Life is complicated, yet very simple. 'These poems are layered and more formal -- with an air of William Blake or even Christina Rosetti -- but without pretension or anachronism. They still have the Lawson touch.' 'Lily Lawson has this way of making me weep.
And dance.
And understand myself a little better.
And understand others, perhaps, a little better too.' Hate vs Love is the strongest poem in the collection. ... I enjoyed the repeating p sound in powerful punch poisoning as an attempt to replicate that ongoing bruised feeling when hateful words hit our heart. And following this, wasting weighty words is an excellent way to display exhaustion, as the mouth quickly gets tired of forming the w sound. Another favorite line of mine is History is buried deep within me in The Vault. Independent Review
