'sometimes i fall asleep thinking about you' is a collection of poetry on the feeling of never getting closure, that lingering longing you still get even when you know you shouldn’t, and how it feels to finally be able to say, “I have finally let you go,” after years of struggling to find the words.
My Review:
Rating: 4.5/5 stars
Firstly I'd like to thank NetGalley and Central Avenue Publishing for an eARC of this poetry collection for an honest review. (Releases 6th April 2021)
Last year I read Shades of Lovers by Catarine Hancock and absolutely loved it. Seeing that Catarine had a new one coming out this year I was so excited to read it. This collection explores the journey of letting go of or recovering from a past relationship that doesn't seem to want to let go. It explores the feelings that come when you don't get closure and that lingering longing you can't quite understand. I love the way Catarine explores her feelings that are so relatable to so many people. While reading this collection I found myself thinking of people in my own life and I feel that this collection does help readers deal with their own recovery.
There are a few trigger warnings at the beginning of the book, such as emotional/physical abuse which I always appreciate being forewarned about with poetry collections. The formatting is beautiful and I just can't truly express how much I love Catarine's writing style. I love her list poems, her prose poetry, the short and the very long pieces. I feel like she has a very unique style that I can't wait to keep reading as she writes more. I recommend this collection to those that like love/heartbreak poetry.
