she followed the moon back to herself

I had caught up with all of my ARCs, requested a toooon more, and proceeded to avoid them. Oops. Here's Amanda Lovelace's "she followed the moon back to herself."

["the tenth poetry collection from amanda lovelace deviates from the well-worn path of fairy tales & myths, instead bringing readers face to face with the person behind the poems that have made her beloved.

from bestselling poetess amanda lovelace comes she followed the moon back to herself, an autobiographical standalone poetry collection that follows a woman who—through heartbreak, bottles of rosé, & the general messiness of life—felt like she completely lost who she was. each bitesize poem shines a light on where she’s been & how she’s managed to overcome it all, offering a dose of hope & moondust to all who join her on the journey back to herself."]

I wasn't entirely sure about Amanda's poetry when I read her first published collection, but she quickly grew and matured as a poet. I think my favorite collection of her was "the witch doesn't burn in this one." It was BEAUTIFUL (definitely recommend reading that one). 

This one didn't disappoint. At. All. 

This collection was powerful as fuck. It was strong and embraced positivity and change. There were some moments of sadness and past struggles, but this book was more about the phoenix rising out of the ashes, ready to take on the world again.
