The way the themes are approached is brilliant. I loved how modern this stylization was and now I’ve found out about other modern-day poets who are doing similar things. Instead of doing what’s conventional - breaking verses when the sentence comes to a halt or at a stressed syllable, - she makes art with the aestethic look of the stanzas. Lovelace takes risks with the way she writes her poems, not only in the matters - they feel very raw and honest - but also with their graphic display. I really really liked this poetry collection as it is so different to what I’ve read in the past. The Princess Saves Herself in this One is being re-released, this time by Andrews McMeel Publishing, after the original version - which was self-published by the author - won Goodreads Choice Award for Poetry (2016). The final section is dedicated to the reader, a sort of quiet and assuring whisper to the ear by Amanda Lovelace herself. The poems included in the first three sections are an exploration of the author’s experience with several themes throughout her life so far, they range from bad break-ups to mother related issues. The book is divided into four different parts: the princess the damsel the queen & you. Publication Date: 14th February published by Andrews McMeel Publishingĭisclaimer: I was sent a copy of this book by the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
