The Fireside Chats

This is a book of poetry about different aspects of a relationship, however, the poetry in this book is different from the first volume produced by the same author. This book is broken up into 5 different sections……where you left me, love in the chaos, the art of destruction, the final goodbye and (re)finding the light. My favorite from this book would probably be the one on page 218. Whether you are in a relationship or just healing from one, take time to read from this book. {Note: I’d recommend this poetry for mature audiences only.}

Synopsis: Soft Thorns Vol. II is the continuation of author Bridgett Devoue’s debut poetry collection Soft Thorns and picks up on her journey of self-discovery and seeking answers to the questions all of our souls inevitably ask.

Similar to Vol. I, Soft Thorns Vol. II is a five-chapter collection of long- and short-form poetry accompanied by gorgeous illustrations, this time in collaboration with artist Laura Kline.

Devoue is not known to shy away from the darkest corners of the human experience; in fact, she dives deep into those waters and allows the reader to explore the shared vulnerabilities that all of us face. Her poems touch on topics such as longing, lust, toxic love, self-destruction, confusing breakups, abuse, and overcoming it all through finding light in even the darkest of places.
