This one wasn't for me, unfortunately I didn't enjoy it at all. I found it very negative and depressing. I didn't feel hope at all. I guess I just didn't 'get it' sorry.

Trigger warnings, for overdosing, suicide, and mental health.

A book that, if you're in the right state of mind, is well worth reading. If you're not though, be really careful, it's not a good book to get into when fragile.
The poems are strong and solid, with very few duds, and hard-hitting in various places.
I felt very vulnerable after reading some of them and could process through them possibly differently than others might. But I still liked them. I did have to put it down and walk away from it a few times though.
I'll be talking about it more on my main blog and on bi-polarbears :)

*Trigger warnings:
Drug overdose, suicidal thoughts, serious mental health issues

This book deserves attention.
I love the art style so much! It's because of the art associated with the poems that made me love the written lines much, much better.

The words are hard-hitting and poignant.
This set of poems deliver. They do deliver and reach your core. It talks about separation from loved ones, taking care of the people you love no matter how they are, the rush and mundanity of life, pain, drugs, suicidal tendency, living a life of adventure, mental health, what they see and what really is in a couple's life and relationship, the homeless, patriotism and patriotic acts, war times and crimes, violence, sickness and healing, work and resilience, tenacity and hope!

I loved this collection.
The one star less for the rating is because of the lack of flow in the sequences which I feel would improve in the upcoming work. Some parts or lines seemed to be put haphazardly. It becomes confusing now and then about the person being talked about in a particular poem. However, the illustrations helped a lot in depicting the issues and the concepts.

Thank you #NetGalley for providing me a copy of the book #OfMyriadPaths
