To Be Loved To The Bone by Beverly Maier
4.0

I am fairly new to poetry so it always takes time for me to really dig in and let it slip into my soul. I really enjoyed this collection. There were 3 parts and for me each part felt like 3 different parts of my life. Part 1 being me and finding my self love, part 2 I couldn’t help but think of a past love, and part 3 brought me thoughts of my current love.

I was consumed by the words here. I wanted to cry a lot because it really dug into my skin. My only flaw with this was some of the longer poems felt like the dragged and didn’t say much between the words.

Everything is subjective, especially poetry so this resonated with me and I thank the author for pouring her soul out for the readers.

4 stars! ⭐️
