Description
Maybe all the answers to all your questions are living within you, waiting to be discovered after finding more of yourself.
Don’t Tell Me Not to Ask Why, Samantha King Holmes’s second solo poetry collection following her bestselling Born to Love, Cursed to Feel, is a mirror that reflects our honest truths. Holmes’s poems are like little stories, hooking readers while navigating issues like body image, family relationships, loneliness, failed relationships, and finding belonging. Don’t Tell Me Not to Ask Why is a call to introspection, a demand for honesty, and an affirmation of second chances.

These poems tugged on my heart strings. Each and every person, if you are a true human being, has dealt with loss and various other topics Holmes discusses. These poems truly make you feel something. They bring out emotions especially when you relate to the topics being addressed. Well done and will certainly recommend to others upon publication date.

Bold, daring, and beautiful. I enjoyed the verses in Samantha King Holmes's collection and would gladly recommend them for poetry lovers. Holmes has a capable command of poetic elements, and I appreciate the story that is woven in these works.

Holmes' collection of poetry and prose is filled with beautiful longing, incredible vocabulary, and amazing topics. She discusses family, childhood, love, bodies, travel, and more. Her writing is aesthetically pleasing both in design and in word, and each poem asks for something different in response. This is best read, in my opinion, with a cup of tea and near a window to gaze out of. If you're a fan of poetry, don't miss out on this collection!
