Depression & Other Magic Tricks

Some of this really resonated with me and I really liked those parts but other portions I found myself just skimming over. Will likely read again many times and I do now have some favorite poems from the book. Different poems speak to you at different points in life. Magic trick 001, a plain truth, on releasing light, and what I told the doctor the second time are great

I have a desire to be a poetry person. I'm not sure why. This didn't exactly convert me, but it wasn't a chore to read, either. There were lines that I hope to keep with me forever.

I had high expectations because of how acclaimed Sabrina Benhaim is, but the poems in this book that I'd heard her speak were only good because I had heard her speak them. They didn't work as paper poems, and the other poems in here just didn't blow me away. Meh.

A couple of quite impressive poems, amidst a wider set of well-written but (to me) quite meh stuff.

I'm not an expert in poetry , and i don't reach for that genre often , but i must say i liked this one .

The writing style was so sweet , some parts i even had to read them out loud to taste them better and enjoy them ..

I'm ready for another poetry book now :D !

2 stars

thanks you.
