This is probably one of the better poetry books I've read so far this year. A number of pieces here were really good.

Poetry is my favourite expression of literary prowess, and collections like this are the main reason why.

Elena's prose is beautiful and reminiscent of breathing. The way each poem flows is like an inhale and exhale and does allow for space to create softening in the body. It reminds me of how she teaches, this is a beautifully sorted book of poems and a treat to have been able to read prior to publishing. Thank you in advance to the publisher and NetGalley.

An enjoyable collection of poems, words, quotes. Brower has a way, an almost whimsical way with her words. The collection was put together nicely. On the inside and dear thirty one year old self were favorites of mine. Her writing style had me envisioning her sitting down on a farm and putting thoughts to paper while imagining little girls, fae, trials and tribulations of life, hardships and growing up. I'd give it a 3.5. While I enjoyed the collection and think that the writing was superior to most others of like that I've read, by the end of the collection it was a bit repetitive. Still would recommend this to other poetry lovers.

Un poemario que se lee bastante rápido.
La autora tiene una colección de poemas bastante profundos y personales, con los cuales pude conectar de una manera rápida y sencilla.

3.75*
It's quite an atmospheric life story lyric, but unfortunately it falls into the same mistake as most of these volumes: it uses predictable narratives and language, so that by the end it becomes monotonous and boring, despite a few nice-sounding lines or thoughts. Still, it's still quite an enjoyable collection, standing out among many unpretentious insta-poetry poets.

I’m not usually a poetry reader but I know Elena from the yoga world, where I’ve taken her classes, and was interested in the collection. It’s lovely!
