A Collection of Dreamscapes is my first collection of poetry by Christina Sng - and because of this I am absolutely going to snag a copy of a previous collection titled A Collection of Nightmares. The cover is what first drew me in to this book of poems because, well, have you seen that stunning art??

These poems are haunting, stunning, and poignant. A few of them I read more than once just so I could fully grasp all that was being written down. And I found that reading them aloud helped slow my consumption so that I could feel and absorb them in the best way. This practice also helped me because, as the title suggests, some of these poems are quite dreamlike and you don't always see the full picture at first. So going back over it or purposefully slowing down really enriches the reading experience. I decided to take my time with this and only read a few poems in the morning or the evening. Spreading this out over 2-3 weeks was a treat I gave myself, and one I hope to gain with her other published works as well.

I highly recommend this dark and enchanting collection of work from Christina Sng. You will really be moved by the way she puts these poems and stories together. From myths of death and rebirth to monsters and fairy tales, this is a solid collection!

My many thanks to Erin Sweet Al-Mehairi and Raw Dog Screaming Press for this copy and for creating another Sng fan in the world! 4.5 stars and rounding up for Goodreads!
