November’s free ebook from the Great Ace Digital Book Box
is a book of poetry! This made for a really nice change, I’ve mentioned this
before but I really want to read more poetry. This book focused on one
relationship and how it comes together and falls apart.
The really unique thing about this book though is that every
other page is a writing prompt. So you see a prompt, and then a corresponding
poem on the next page. I actually really enjoyed this because it allows you to
see a piece of the author’s thought process, what her writing is responding to,
and possibly some dual meanings to her writing.
I also thought her poems captured really well this sense of
memory, of how you can go through a breakup but thoughts about your ex still
haunt you for a while. Maybe they never leave. I don’t know. But you clearly
see the cyclical nature and how these memories can still flood you for ages
afterwards. The end of the relationship never really is the end.
In case you missed it a couple weeks ago, I’d highly
recommend signing up for the mailing list! Free ebooks! Support asexual writers
and representation! I’ll be reviewing them as I get them so we can all have a
discussion about it. It’ll be fun!
