The book’s full of words we always think about and it’s really good。 However, it’s too plain。

“I’m on the edge of my bed between heaven and hell。”This book was so beautiful。 I definitely did connect to a part of this book。 I will be reading more from this author!

Things We Don't Talk About was written by Pandora Owl and published on January 28th, 2020。 The pages of this book hold a collection of Owl's personal thoughts, poems, and words about anxiety, depression, and mental health。 On the cover, it shows the word don't crossed off- meaning these are things that we don't talk about but we need to talk about。 The point of view of this collection is from the author, Pandora Owl。 The is no pacing, but all of the pages have a date on which the insert was writ Things We Don't Talk About was written by Pandora Owl and published on January 28th, 2020。 The pages of this book hold a collection of Owl's personal thoughts, poems, and words about anxiety, depression, and mental health。 On the cover, it shows the word don't crossed off- meaning these are things that we don't talk about but we need to talk about。 The point of view of this collection is from the author, Pandora Owl。 The is no pacing, but all of the pages have a date on which the insert was written。 There was no craft at all to this book; it seems chaotic and unorderly。 Mental health is unique to each person experiencing it, and there is not one way to encapsulate how it makes someone feel。 The back of the book says, "it can get a little too raw for some and a little too real for others。" I completely disagree。 I do not feel as though this book went deep enough。 Mental health is such a "taboo" topic, and this is just an example of why it is seen as taboo。 I was very excited when I found and ordered this book, and I was highly disappointed in what I got。 I felt a glimpse of what the author was going for, but it did not give what was promised by the title and statement on the back。 There was no craft to this collection, and my advice to the author would be to dig deeper and let it all out。 。。。more

Kris,
I enjoyed this collection of poems。 I would definitely read more by this author。 What I love about poetry like this is, it doesn’t take a large combination of words to leave an impact on the reader。 Few or many, it doesn’t matter to me as long as I feel a connection to the work。
