Iscriviti per consentire a LibraryThing di scoprire se ti piacerà questo libro. Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro. The collection of over 80 poems is grouped into five sections: The Love Song of Allegra, Fairy Tales, All the Monsters in the World, The Capacity of Violence, and Myths and Dreamscapes. If you want more specific thoughts/insights into each section then go read the review on my blog at readingvicariously.net!! Just know that this is an excellent collection of poetry, full of poems that are worth reading over and over. Needless to say the beautifully descriptive language and fervent imagination of the author make for wonderful stories. Their cruelty, brutality, and violence clearly put the collection as a whole in the category of “dark poetry,” but that’s not to say there aren’t also threads of grace, love, and redemption. And with such a variety of styles and genres (myth, fantasy, science fiction, crime thriller, and straight horror just to name a few) there’s something here for everyone to enjoy! Favorite poems include “Always a Beast,” “Memoirs in the Dark,” “The Tooth Collector,” and “ Future World” Thanks to @rdspress for sending a copy to review, and to @christinasng for her wonderful poetry! nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

A Collection of Dreamscapes by Christina Sng is an exploration of the darkness inside us, the shadow-self that screams and begs, forever fighting to claw itself out. It's a siren song of transformation, an uncovered diary that bleeds fairy tales and dystopias, and it reads like a grimoire full of spells and curses that bring monsters and madmen to life. Between these pages, readers will meet women who hide behind the taste of poisoned apples, who set themselves on fire, who weep at riverbanks, the taste of freedom too much to swallow, too heavy to bear. They will be whisked away to faraway lands and unimaginable worlds, the drip of fog-soaked dreams a steady flow down their throats while they choke on betrayal and bathe in the waters of tears twice cried.Sng's poems are a blend of dark fantasy and science fiction, a changeling's whisper and an ogre's cry. They are both subtle and violent, and they weave themes of empowerment and strength through stars and earthquakes, forcing us to push away the rubble and look at what we've had to do to survive. They are the sacrifice in the forest and the haunting in the house, every gasp and ancient fear a reflection of the violence we've had to bury deep inside ourselves, all those battle cries and reimagined dreams we desperately try to forget. Here, Sng marries blood and magic, forever walking hand-in-hand with scar and ash, their imprints both a nightmare and a blessing, a dream and the truth.Swallow them carefully. Once they're inside you, there's no getting them out. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

Part of the reason I rated it 3 instead of 4 stars is that it gets quite repetitive, the same themes explored in every iteration possible. It became difficult to get through as a reader. ( )
