Summary

Titled after the poem that burned up on Tumblr and has inspired wedding vows， paintings， songs， YouTube videos， and even tattoos among its fans， Mouthful of Forevers brings the first substantial collection of this gifted young poet’s work to the public。

Clementine von Radics writes of love， loss， and the uncertainties and beauties of life with a ravishing poetic voice and piercing bravura that speak directly not only to the sensibility of her generation， but to anyone who has ever been young。

“It is a strange thing to nourish what could kill you in the hopes it does not kill you。”This short collection of poetry from tales of love， loss and grief are thought provoking enough but not as gut wrenchingly， beautiful and devastating as poetry can （and in my opinion should be）。

I’m unsure how to navigate reviewing a poetry book because truthfully I feel you only need one great poem that lays you bare to merit a 5 stars， just for the fact they you feel truly seen for a moment。 With that in mind I really enjoyed this。 I can see myself flipping through it in the coming days to immerse myself once again in that thought， or this phrase—because at the end of the day I did feel a little laid bare。 I don’t know yet whether its comforting or demoralizing that most of my most pe I’m unsure how to navigate reviewing a poetry book because truthfully I feel you only need one great poem that lays you bare to merit a 5 stars， just for the fact they you feel truly seen for a moment。 With that in mind I really enjoyed this。 I can see myself flipping through it in the coming days to immerse myself once again in that thought， or this phrase—because at the end of the day I did feel a little laid bare。 I don’t know yet whether its comforting or demoralizing that most of my most personal feelings are so wildly relatable/experienced but undeniably having a form of kindred tie—wrapped so eloquently around pain—is beautiful in its own way。 4 stars ⭐️ 。。。more

this is a good poetry book， even i feel this is better than Love & Misadventure。 it's quite hard to rate this book。 if i based this solely on how good and moving this book， i would've given this 3 or 4 stars。 but my rating is half that and half my experience while reading it and sadly， this is just not for me。 "It is a strange thing to nourish what could kill youin the hopes it does not kill you。"mouthful of forevers is about letting go， healing， accepting self， how we as a woman must keep le this is a good poetry book， even i feel this is better than Love & Misadventure。 it's quite hard to rate this book。 if i based this solely on how good and moving this book， i would've given this 3 or 4 stars。 but my rating is half that and half my experience while reading it and sadly， this is just not for me。 "It is a strange thing to nourish what could kill youin the hopes it does not kill you。"mouthful of forevers is about letting go， healing， accepting self， how we as a woman must keep learning to stand up for ourselves， to never give up， and never ever let what men define us take hold of us。 at least， that's what i got from reading it。 "You are so much stronger than the worldhas ever believed you could be。The world is waiting for youto set it on fire。 Trust in yourselfand burn。"overall rating: 2。5 stars。 。。。more

“The not saying does not make it any quieter。”

I don't think highly of poetry that talks too often about what it means to be poetry - like "I would say this but it's too X to be a poem" or "I am saying X but it does not make beautiful words but it is the truth"。 Certain poems also had strong tumblr vibes。 But regardless this book made me feel various emotions which makes it a good poetry book for me。 I don't think highly of poetry that talks too often about what it means to be poetry - like "I would say this but it's too X to be a poem" or "I am saying X but it does not make beautiful words but it is the truth"。 Certain poems also had strong tumblr vibes。 But regardless this book made me feel various emotions which makes it a good poetry book for me。 。。。more

not as great as memories

Loved this

2。5 I always feel weird rating poetry because it feels more subjective than any other kind of reading for me。 I tend to rate just based on how deeply I could relate to the writing。 In this case， the majority of poems were about longing for a man which my ass cannot fathom。

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 The good news is you survived。 The bad news isyou're hurt and no one can heal you but yourself。God I want you in some primal， wild wayanimals want each other。 Untamed and full of teeth。God I want you in some chaste， Victorian way。A glimpse of your ankle just kills me。 The good news is you survived。 The bad news isyou're hurt and no one can heal you but yourself。God I want you in some primal， wild wayanimals want each other。 Untamed and full of teeth。God I want you in some chaste， Victorian way。A glimpse of your ankle just kills me。 。。。more

I loved how quick this poetry volume was to read and that mental health/illness was discussed candidly。 However， I didn’t think it was groundbreaking and the poems have a certain youthful naivety that I perhaps can’t relate to now as I near the end of my twenties。 I enjoyed this and I’m glad I finally got round to reading these poems but I probably won’t pick it up （virtually as I have a kindle edition） again。

i’m starting to think that every poetry book is written by one person… but also， is this a good poetry？

3。5Las primeras 50 páginas me fascinaron y podía dejar de decir QUE MUJER POR DIOSPero después se volvió un poco repetitivo y poco creativo

Was good。 Might not read again

Elvi ，

Yeah， I can see why 2015 Tumblr went nuts for this。While I do enjoy some of Clementine's work this just felt like a very obvious first collection written by a 21 year old （which is exactly what it is， so I can't really fault her for that）。 If you're in your late teens/early twenties this might resonate a bit more I suppose！ Yeah， I can see why 2015 Tumblr went nuts for this。While I do enjoy some of Clementine's work this just felt like a very obvious first collection written by a 21 year old （which is exactly what it is， so I can't really fault her for that）。 If you're in your late teens/early twenties this might resonate a bit more I suppose！ 。。。more

This book was a little all over the place。 There was no central storyline， but rather a hodgepodge of several different stories。 While there was an underlying theme of heartbreak and betrayal， the poems didn’t seem to fit together。 I could not relate to them， which I am thankful for。 I also didn’t like the usage of curse words throughout the book， but that’s a personal preference thing。

not really my type of poetry

Aleksandra ，

personally， i like the “poeticism” of her “in a dream you saw a way to survive”， but this one seemed more raw yet still written really well

Wahiba ，

This was a quick read， might be the reason why I might have missed the point of it 😗Liked the two "feminist" poems which made me think that I need a different set of tools to like the other stuff No rating because Ryma loves this one 🤣 This was a quick read， might be the reason why I might have missed the point of it 😗Liked the two "feminist" poems which made me think that I need a different set of tools to like the other stuff No rating because Ryma loves this one 🤣 。。。more

Because I knew my therapist was right， and I wanted to keep being wrong。 I wanted to keep my bad habits like charms on a bracelet。 I did not want to be brave。 I think I like my brain best in a bar fight with my heart。 I think I like myself a little broken（i stopped going to therapy）It will not be beautiful， but the truth never is。 Come now， you promised yourself。 You promised you’d live through this。（there is the worst and then there is more）When will I stop belonging to this hungry thing inside Because I knew my therapist was right， and I wanted to keep being wrong。 I wanted to keep my bad habits like charms on a bracelet。 I did not want to be brave。 I think I like my brain best in a bar fight with my heart。 I think I like myself a little broken（i stopped going to therapy）It will not be beautiful， but the truth never is。 Come now， you promised yourself。 You promised you’d live through this。（there is the worst and then there is more）When will I stop belonging to this hungry thing inside me？（that spring everything grew wild and the rain came down like punishment）He is drowning in his own sadness。 Drowning people often believe that if they grab hold of someone else they can be saved， but it just makes you both sink faster。（the poet finally drops the bullshit）and if anyone else were to kiss me， all they would taste is your name。（you have six tattoos）I would tell them I have done my research， and love is not a state of being。 It is a house that takes up the whole world。 I would tell them I am everywhere except apart from him。（if asked to describe him）I’m having the kind of afternoon where I break a dish and stand over the kitchen sink for hours， staring at the two irreparable halves。 There is no longer a woman in my body。 Just this screaming child who does not listen。 She only wants。 And wants。 And wants。（when i was seven years old）I wonder if you know yet that you’ll leave me。 That you are a child playing with matches and I have a paper body。 You will meet a girl with a softer voice and stronger arms and she will not have violent secrets or an affection for red wine or eyes that never stay dry。（paper body）I cannot believe her when she says I am beautiful。 She cannot want me， not the way I want her。（i read her palms naked in bed） 。。。more

I enjoyed this collection of poems - there's a lot of great ones。 But some of them felt like rough drafts / unfinished thoughts。。。But maybe that's the beauty of it？ I enjoyed this collection of poems - there's a lot of great ones。 But some of them felt like rough drafts / unfinished thoughts。。。But maybe that's the beauty of it？ 。。。more
