That feels like a lifetime ago and, as with the evolution of life, I found it increasingly difficult to either read or write poetry, and often opting to get lost in a novel instead. So, when I picked up Surviving Home it was almost like a sweet homecoming for me.
I was immediately hit with how powerful some of the prose are, many literally eliciting an actual ache in my heart, feeling truly touched by the author’s words Though much was hard to read, there was also such bitter truth, which I appreciated, the author showing such bravery and conviction. My mind's eye was bombarded with very vivid imagery and saw many of my own thoughts and emotions mirrored on the page, and I found myself getting lost in thought on multiple occasions, and even going back to reread certain passages, the meaning more and more brilliant with each read.
Though I enjoyed much of this book I have to say that I didn’t care for the topic of politics. I admire the author’s point of view, and actually agree with many of the points that she made, but I personally have never cared to discuss politics, and I found myself in these moments zoning out. Other than that I was in awe of her creativity in telling her story and feel so thankful that I was given the chance to read it. It’s definitely reminded me why I always loved poetry in my younger years, and for that I am eternally grateful.
