A Psalm for Us

This is a very deep and tender book of poetry and other thoughts. I felt like I knew what the author was thinking and feeling when she wrote some of these. It was a very good collection.

A Psalm For Us was my second attempt reading poetry in a row. My first was The Witch Doesn’t Burn in This One by Amanda Lovelace, and it was a quick, powerful read. I’ve always been fascinated by poetry but I’ve rarely tried it, which is why I wanted to branch out.

I didn’t dislike this, just like I didn’t dislike TWDBITO. It just wasn’t something I was in the mindset to read right now.

This had some heavy elements to it, content ranging from depression to love and then to heartbreak again, all things I’ve experienced and can connect with. I think this would have made a world of difference to me if I had read it a year or two ago when I was struggling and hurting. There’s something about reading about other’s pain that can be healing in itself, if that’s not weird to say. A Psalm For Us was poignant and beautiful but not at all what I needed to read right now.

Don’t let that pastel, cutesy cover fool you; if you open this book, you’ll face some rough seas. However, I think all in all, it was also a rewarding read, and anyone who has experienced hurt in any form could relate to this collection of poetry.

I received an eARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

A Psalm for Us is a collection of poems that will capture the attention or much likely is suitable for those who are currently in pain. The prose and poems in this anthology is more like of a healing affirmations that will help them cope up with what they are going through. I'm not the target of this poetry book, but I reckon this could be a great help to comfort and motivate those who are in the blue.
