Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher, and Bridgett Devoue for an AAC in exchange for my honest opinion.more IMHO, powerful heartfelt words, need an equally emotionally and convincing voice With little, to no emotion read into her words, the reading of her poetry sounded as if she were “dead” inside, or devoid of any true feeling.lest she intended the listener to imagine that. Devoue did a disservice to her work, by narrating it herself. Devoue’s prologue she states: “ Don’t worry if it burns a little.that’s what happens when you play with fire”.Īudio Version: While the poetry itself is heartfelt, I feel Ms. Five chapters that nearly made me bleed with conflicting emotion for her. W Soft Thorns Vol II, is a poetry composition that is raw, mournful, lustful, pitiful, painful, decisive and healing. Well, call the Fire Department!! Audio Version: While the poetry itself is heartfelt, I feel Ms. Devoue’s prologue she states: “ Don’t worry if it burns a little.that’s what happens when you play with fire”.

I’m very grateful to be part of this amazing community and family.Bestselling poet Bridgett Devoue shares insight and advice into the powerful world of unrequited love and abuse. In the writers community I got to interact with so many talented and wonderful fellow writers. I used to read her write-ups and poems, and I used to be so proud of her for having a unique perception to life.And then for the first i have a courage to create a page on Instagram to post my write ups. She is the one who has inspired me to write. When I was in elementary school.I have my personal journal where I wrote and still writing about my precious moments,about people who stood for me,my turning points, my pain, frustrations and anger,critical situations.More or less I'm filling my journal with good memories. I’ve been writing ever since I can remember.
I’m a Physical therapist, Poetess and Book reviewer. So, I recommend this book because it’s powerful, relatable, truth and has beautiful but simple images (which I liked a lot). Ant this is so Important.Įvery line can be meaningful to someone, in every time of their life people can find inspiration and new power to embrace their worlds and built something better.
Love is the biggest theme: not only love for someone else, but love for ourselves. This part was so important in my eyes and I cannot stop thinking about it. The most powerful theme is Self care, I think. This book talks about a lot of subjects: assault, abuse, anorexia, mental health, broken hearts, self confidence and self esteem. We are human, we are like roses with thorns, but we can also be gentle and positive about ourselves. This is one of my first poetry book and I’m glad I find a well written and deeply interesting story. So, I think that less words can work as much as lot of phrases, sometimes. I felt the damages, the bad things, the assaults, the anger, the loneliness. But I cannot deny that this book is very good. When the author says that she is better writing in poems, I thought I was more a “prose” person. I’m not usually a poetry-reader, even if I like it sometimes.
