Seed Beetle by Mahaila Smith
5.0
challenging hopeful inspiring reflective medium-paced

I requested and received this book from BookSirens. My opinions are my own.

This poetry collection packs a massive punch. I highly recommend reading it. Be warned though, there are many moments in this book that are enraging. Moments that parallel things that have happened and continue to happen in real life.

I want to say I never thought I'd become  emotionally attached to robotic beetles, but I did. It is so easy to love the characters in these poems. They are just like us: angry, overworked, lonely and scared but somehow still hopeful. 

The way Mahaila Smith writes inspires me. I hope the read more soon.
