 hey guys it's julia and welcome back to my channel and for today's video i'm going to be doing poetry recommendations number three. so as you guys know i do read a lot of poetry i've done two recommendations in the videos in the past which i'll link both of those down below as well as my book review playlist full of recommendations if you're interested. first up here i have a pleasant surprise and that was a pillow thoughts by Courtney Peppernell. this book is divided into kind of like going for what you need so you can pick and choose and like whatever you are in need of you can read poems for that so it's if you're dreaming of someone if you are in love if you are heartbroken if you are lonely if you are sad if you're missing someone if you need encouragement if you are soul switching if you need a reason to stay and these are for you. so this is full of just lovely poems and there's also because i just really enjoyed the writing i think the poems were unique from other collections that i've read from and also this little lake jellyfish on the front it like is carried throughout the book and it's just really cute. i think this collection is definitely worth checking out. but this is a love her wild by Atticus. i know this one's kind of i've seen good reviews but i've seen mixed reviews as well. basically this is full of poems and pictures which i personally really like the pictures i think they're very some of them are simple but they're so pleasing to the eye and i just think they're they're they're stunning like and the poems they're short but they're really good like i liked them a lot and i was really impressed by this collection um love can be labeled poison and we drink it anyways so the fear of losing them that scares us is that we have given them so many of our pieces that we fear losing ourselves when they are gone. you guys probably expect to see on here if you saw my wrap up and that is the sun and her flowers by rupee core which i wasn't a huge fan of milk and honey which i know is a very very very unpopular opinion especially for poetry because everyone read milk and honey and loved it but so i didn't have high expectations for this at all but i freaking loved it basically this one deals with so many topics from like police brutality to immigration to this so it's just so many topics that i thought were so important to talk about and again it has the whole illustration thing going on so the little pictures and stuff along the way which i always like that little touch of poetry i think it adds a lot so yeah um to read a poem from here there's i tapped so many to the point where like i don't know which one to pick they buried me alive i dug my way out of the ground with palm and fist i howled so loud the earth rose in fear and the derpy gain to levitate my whole life had been uprising one burial after another i will find my way out of you just fine i just love it was really good guys um a beautiful composition of broken um by r.h sin you guys know i love this guy's poetry so much um basically i've read all of his other collections and i mentioned them all in past recommendations videos but this one was really good as well um i think i always love his poetry i think it's so personal i think about his writing and the simplicity of his poems that i just freaking love and i love how his collections are usually pretty like they're pretty chunky so like i can just really sit down and just enjoy it so much and the back says it's crazy how sometimes you have to destroy to be made anew everything happens for a reason just like this moment i do believe that when you're dealing with will pass tones are definitely more simple in this collection but they're really nice no one in april these words pour from me like rain from ball east guys i often fear that i'll drown in my own pool of sadness submerged reaching for no one because only i could say me i've always saved myself and that beautiful i love so last but not least i have another collection that really surprised me that i really loved and that is um you're doing just fine by charlotte erickson this book i would actually start a review at the time which i love getting poetry for review because honestly they're such quick reads like they're the easiest review copies for me ever especially because usually poetry is really easy for me to get through so i'm not really worried about t nothing like um a review copy for poetry but this is um poetry and prose and it deals with a lot of tough issues but i just loved it so much i was so pleasantly surprised that um charlotte is such a sweetie um her publicist sent this to me um and she signed it for me and i've never had when i've received review copies for the author to actually sign it for me ever so that was really special and i just loved it i highlighted it i annotated it i think it's absolutely stunning so back says take a shower wash up the day drink a glass of water make the room dark light down and close your eyes notice the silence notice your heart still beating still fighting you made it after all you made it another day and you can make it one more you're doing just fine i have a whole video of me like um it's like highlight and annotate with me i have a whole video about it so there you guys have it these are my poetry
