'You will come away bruised.
You will come away bruised
but this will give you poetry.'
Raw and stark, the poems in Yrsa Daley-Ward's breakthrough collection strip down her reflections on the heart, life, the inner self, coming of age, faith and loss to their essence. They resonate to the core of experience.
'Yrsa's work is like holding the truth in your hands. A glorious living thing' Florence Welch

I received a free ebook over NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This poetry collection is deeply personal. That is something I noticed very soon. Some of these poems border on short stories and those were the best in here. They cut deep and left me thinking. The shorter ones didn't really touch me that much and got a bit repetitive after time. The author is definitely talented and shows her inner feelings in this collection and that made it special. It set it apart from other poetry collections I read. Most of them have a similar feel, but this one stood out. I couldn't really connect to most of the religious themes, but I still enjoyed the critical stand it had towards how religion is carried out. The themes in this collection are dark and deal with anything from sexual assault to race. I would say it's more for mature readers, since the poetry can get a bit depressing, especially because of it's reality. I loved how it always felt real and like someone opened their heart to me as a reader and never like something made up.
