Description
With millions of poetry books out there, there has never been a single book dedicated solely to the inner strength of women. Until now.
Welcome to ‘Made of Flowers and Steel’, a poetry collection that celebrates the strength behind the beauty that is a woman.
Inspired by stories of real women, this collection of 100 poems honours the raw grit and the moral fortitude that exists in all women. Sometimes that power is inherent, sometimes it needs to be invoked, but it is always there.
Page after page, you’ll discover a newfound love and respect for yourself, and for all the women in your life.
Written by Sameer Kochure, the author of the much adored book series ‘A Young Boy and His Best Friend, The Universe,’ and ‘Wrong,’ this book is for all the thinking, feeling women around the world, and for everyone who loves them.
100 Poems | 1 Unmissable Collection
◆◆◆
Please Note: This is NOT a regular book of poems on love, heartbreak or feminism. It’s a salute to the moral strength it takes to be a woman in today’s world.
Trigger warning: Some poems deal with sensitive issues women face every day.

mom, you were made of flowers and you were made of the loveliest steel - GOD ON EARTH
This is the type of poetry book where I read the first poem and immediately know I'm going to award it five stars. Many of the poems captured my attention and heart. And I was astonished to learn that this was written by a man since I had assumed it would be a woman based on the author's name. HUHU, I FELT CATFISHED.

Actual Rating = 2.5 stars rounded up to 3
This was a cohesive collection in that there was solid thematic consistency throughout the pieces. That's not easy to pull off, especially given the volume of poetry in this work.
Unfortunately, I found the poems to be very literal, lacking a lot of the imagery and metaphor I enjoy in poetic works. This is at least partially a personal preference issue, so I didn't let that lower my rating.

Es un buen poemario. It was hard to read sometimes but it was good enough for me.
At the end of every single poem, there was this phrase about being made of steel and it was tedious to read.
Despues de eso, habla sobre el empoderamiento y el aceptarce a une misme, cosa que hizo qeu remontara la calificacion.

Love the theme of empowerment running through the collection. Poems look at both personal and general issues for maximum impact and reach. Great for fans of Rupi Kaur.

4 Stars (I received an e-arc from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review)
This collection is as beautiful as the cover artwork and is quite impressive given the author is male and the poems are focused from a female perspective. The ending of each poem includes some form of the lines "made of flowers and steel", which can get repetitive at times but can also be very fitting depending on the content of the poems. This was a gorgeous collection and I would love to pick up a physical copy of this book.
