Summary

this is the recipe of life

in order to bloom

Review

I am not a regular poetry reader, I struggle to read this genre, but I am open-minded to either the classics or the modern ones. 

I am happy to be back with her poems as they have most of the time a drawing comes with it, and I enjoy them. 

I was not too fond of all the poems that she wrote but it because I didn’t connect with them, but there are some that I relate with, especially in the last part “blossom”. It was the part that I appreciate the most.

Liz.
