To the Man I Loved Too Much

I really enjoyed reading this debut poetry book. Gabrielle G. really managed to express a lot of emotions into her poems, such as heartbreak, love, anger,... The book consist of 14 ‘chapters', all with a different but meaningful meaning. The artwork that each ‘chapter' starts with is really pretty as well.
Gabrielle G.'s poems are really raw and thoughtful. You can really feel the emotions through them, and I think that's important in poetry.

Here's my favorite poem from the short collection:

‘I asked the moon to guide me,
In the path of our love,
As I was blind to see.
Stellar tips.

The moon stayed silent,
But the stars screamed
That our love was distant.
Lunar eclipse.

The sun came to my rescue
And burnt all my doubts
But then payment was due.
Solar explosion.

So, I gave my sky away,
Blackened by madness;
And left you in dismay.
Heartless decision.'

At the end of the book, there was also a list of other books Gabrielle G. has written. I'm really excited to look these up and dive into them!

Thank you to the author Gabrielle G. for sending me a copy of this book. This in no way affected my opinion.
