Inward

It feels like cheating to mark this as a book I read this year - it is almost like an extended card, something to read over an hour with a cup of coffee and consider. The theme of this book of poems is “self-love is the key global peace”, essentially. Many of the poems are the sort that you would see on your instagram feed - but there was a bit where a group of young people were speaking to a wise woman on a mountain that reminded me very much of Khalil Gibran's work - I wish the author had spent more time there. Overall, it is an insightful book of poems, but not necessarily a book that I would come back to or recommend.

Mixed bag.
