Description

Whispers From The Moon is a collection of poetry about: love , loss, grief, heartache, and the empowering of oneself, triumphing over all to celebrate the beauty of life.

It is divided into four chapters corresponding to the phases of the moon: full, waning, eclipse, waxing.

Lee Broda’s poetry is raw and evoking, sometimes dark and painful, while always searching to understand.

With her poetry having already touched thousands, Lee wishes for the reader to know she is never alone in her suffering or in joy. Her wish for him is that he explores the deep, hidden edges of his heart between the wandering words of his soul.

Whispers From The Moon is a companion to all of us in our life's journeys, encouraging us to live authentically with passion, acceptance, forgiveness, and ultimately, love.

4.5 stars, rounded up to celebrate a fresh voice in poetry.

This collection is familiar in that it speaks to themes and experiences we’ve all had, but shows them in a new light. There seems to be a very fine line between the author and her work, which gives the sense of it being more autobiographical than not.. It’s almost like a moment of voyeurism, a glance into her personal diaries, or into her head. Where there exist “imperfections”, or phrases that could easily have been more romanticizes or carefully honed, it only adds to the realism. I also think Broda’s multicultural heritage lends this collection an exoticism or else a perspective we don’t often get a chance to see in English.

This heartfelt, coming-of-age collection will appeal most to young women. It is more accessible than most poetry— neither stuffy nor excessively colloquial or simplistic (looking at you, Rupi Kaur). It’s actually the sort of thing that I think a lot of people who sought out Kaur’s work, looking for personal, modern, feminine poetry but were turned off by the too-loose writing, will appreciate this work.

That collection of poetry was very beautifully written. It was full of heartbreak and healing, and it was full of very vivid and beautiful poems that made you both fall in love and help you on the path to healing. It was all very stunningly done, and I loved it <3

'Whispers From The Moon' is a beautiful book of poetry. I was planning to put some beautiful quotes and snippets from these poems in this review but that would honestly take up so much time and space! But at the end I will list some of my favourite poems. This book was filled with such deep and BEAUTIFUL poetry. I was just hit with a beautiful wave of emotion with every poem! I could feel the love and loss, joy and hurt, in every single poem. I could feel the impact of every single word.

Some of my favourite poems in this book are:
-‘The Language of Love’ - I LOVED this one so much
-The poem: ‘Good Morning’ really resonated with me! Beautiful!
-‘Hard Rain’

Absolutely addictive. Lying in bed one evening, I didn't just read this. I felt the words, I experienced the rhythm of the life it described. I felt moved to tears, empowered, in love. All from one page to the next. I wanted to know this woman who bared her soul to me. To comfort her, to be known by her. Absolutely wonderful.

I found Lee Broda's debut poetry collection to be an enjoyable read to say the least. I enjoyed the raw emotions expressed through meaningful pieces, beautifully capturing the highs and lows of love, heartbreak and healing. I found it very insightful, often referring back to my own experiences and applying them to what I was reading.
