This was a beautiful poetry collection, and I loved the storytelling and lyricism within the verses. I found it easy to read as someone who is newer to reading poetry, and feel like I did not miss any of the major themes of the poems. 'The Peach Tree' and 'Grace' were my personal favorites from this book.

These poems weren't for me. I found that none of them caught or held my attention and they didn't impress me in style or content. I like the cover a lot, but the poetry was a letdown. The artistry within doesn't match the artistry of the outside at all.

The Fig Thief (Paperback)
by Gabriella Belfiglio
this is a collection of poems on various topics from immigration to family. showing the culture of Pittsburgh and new jersey and roads in-between. the poetry is ltgbq+ and shows the diverse problems and triumphs of immigration and relationships.

The Fig Thief is a beautiful and emotional poetry centered around the author's life and views. I loved reading this a lot!

I loved how family and immigration were discussed and also interwoven so they intersected at multiple points. Healthy family relationships is so important and we don't often see it in poetry.
The author of this collection is also queer, the love poems were all queer-based and full of adoration. My favorite authors/collections to read are queer authors/queer based poetry because of the perspective of the world, the reality of love, and the openness of opinion that is not censored at all.
A magnificent collection!

How utterly beautiful and original, with a focus on nature. A stunning collection of poetry with an-eye catching cover and interesting messages in aforementioned poems.
