This is a collection of poetry about a bad relationship and whether you can heal after it’s over. It’s divided into 3 sections……..monster-boy, monster-girl and sun-heart. Each section focus’ on a different aspect of that bad relationship. My favorite poem in this book was on page 106. If you have ever been through a bad relationship or a tough break up, this might be the book you need to read for yourself. {Note: I’d recommend this poetry for mature audiences only.}
