the princess saves herself in this one review

We learn all about Amanda’s turbulent relationship with a mother who seems to have an alcohol dependency. The Princess section of this book was strange for me, there were some poems that were beautifully written but had absolutely no emotional weight to them, they were just pretty words but others were so raw and heartbreaking they brought tears to my eye. I like not knowing much about poetry collections and Dear Wallflower by Sara Secora is one of the favourite books of all time, the review for that is linked below. I didn’t know much about the content except that it features themes of life and all of its love, loss, grief, healing, empowerment, and inspirations.

I was informed that the first three parts relate to the life of Amanda Lovelace while You serves as a note to the reader. Review: I didn’t know much about The Princess Saves Herself in This One other than it is a poetry collection divided up into four parts The Princess, The Damsel, The Queen & You. They are all beautifully and powerfully addressed in the poetry, but please practice good self care when approaching this book.Title: The Princess Saves Herself in This One (Women Are Some Kind of Magic #1) This is a book I’m thrilled to own and expect to read over and over again, and cannot recommend highly enough.ĬW: There is a list of warnings at the top of the book, and every one of them is for a reason. These are the words you want to revisit when they will reach you the most, words you want tattooed on your skin the way they are in your memory and in your heart. The simplest poem, one that is only a single line, left me sitting there, staring at the mostly blank page, for a solid 5 minutes. I would linger on a page after reading a piece and just take it in. This is the kind of poetry that stays with you. I wrote a term paper on cummings in my youth, and her manipulation of structure on the page was beautifully reminiscent of the way he worked as well.

She bares her soul through her words, bleeding ink onto paper, framing it lightly but effectively with a fairy tale princess formula turned on its head. This slight and powerful book of poetry is based on Amanda’s life and while simply written, contains such multitudes of feeling that you feel you’ve gone on a journey with her through her whole life by its conclusion. This is the type of poetry I have always loved, and I wish Amanda Lovelace had come into my life sooner. I was even published once, in our lit mag.

I used to love writing and reading poetry, especially in high school. I haven’t read a book of poetry in a long time, and this was a perfect way to get back into it.
