I Hope My Voice Doesn't Skip

2018 • 160 pages


I just want to say thank you so much to the Author and Andrew McMeel Publishing for providing me with a physical copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Just like in her first poetry collection Stuff I've Been Feeling Lately this collection is divided into 2 parts. Part one is called The EP and part two is called The LP which like mentioned in the synopsis is modeled after a vinyl record. I find the way she formats her collection to be really unique and this one is made even more unique because she has collaborated with several up and coming musicians to turn some of her poems into song. While it is unique unfortunately the music is not my kind of music but I'm sure it will work for others.

I used sticky notes to mark some of the poems that stood out to me so much so that my husband asked me why I was marking up my book so much. While a lot of the poems stood out to me I didn't connect with this collection of poems as much as I did when I read her first collection called Stuff I've Been Feeling Lately. Even though I didn't connect with it as much I still really loved reading it.
