### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Potent Honesty and Poetic Truth
  

*by L***E on Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2024*

These poems spoke to me in a way that brought tears to my eyes, goosebumps across my skin, and left my stomach turning because potent truth will do that. This collection is truly medicinal, with metaphors so captivating that I find myself mulling them over days after reading them. The courage and boldness and raw honesty on each page was refreshingly intoxicating. I plan to give copies of this book as a gift many times over, to inspire, encourage, and simply indulge in something beautiful.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Beautiful, sometimes wrenching, but very worthwhile.
  

*by J***E on Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2024*

The poems have stayed with me, days after finishing the book. They are truthful, often painful, lovely, and real. The comparisons of this writer's work with Mary Oliver's are apt. I also see glimmers of Linda Gregg here. I'm looking forward to reading more from Joy Sullivan.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    A collection of poems about the relentless pursuit of joy.
  

*by C***C on Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2024*

from Instructions for Traveling West: "First, you must realize you're homesick for all the lives / you're not living. Then, you must commit to the road / and the rising loneliness. To the sincere thrill of coming / apart."from Eve's Apology: "Lamentably, my apology is serving a life sentence and / cannot receive visitors. To be honest, my apology just / bloomed into a field of scarlet peonies. I plucked them / into a bouquet that bled all over your breakfast table."from Want: "They say men want freedom / and girls want love, / but I've seen women leave / lovers and countries and kingdoms / of comfort just for the chance / to sleep unbothered"
