Flower Crowns and Fearsome Things by Amanda Lovelace
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
October 6-7
in her new standalone poetry collection, flower crowns & fearsome things, bestselling & award-winning poetess amanda lovelace explores the complexity of femininity through alternating wildflower & wildfire poems.
within these pages, you will find that each of us has the ability to be both soft & fierce at the same time. there is no need to choose one or the other.
Review: A beautiful collection of poetry. I loved this authors other work of poetry and I think this one may be my favorite.
