Überleben und Lieben
Viele der Themen in diesem Gedichtsband sprechen mich persönlich an, deshalb habe ich auch bei vielen eine Verbundenheit gespürt. Ihre Art zu schreiben gefällt mir gut, die Metaphern sind treffend. Trotzdem ist nicht gänzlich der Funke übergesprungen.
[I received an e-ARC of this book in exchange for a honest review.] I love this book! I am a huge fan of Blythe Baird's poetry, so when I saw this book on NetGalley I had to request it. The topics in "If My Body Could Speak" are very emotional and include self love, mental health, sexuality and the authors experience as a rape survivor. Her poems very really touching and inspiring and they made me think a lot. As a queer person, my favorite poems were "The Lesbian Reevaluates" and "Everything Is Fluid". I really look forward to reading more of Blythe Baird's poetry! 5/5
"I am trying to be happy & pay attention to the world around me. I do not know if it is possible to do both at the same time."
