Ich liebe ihre Gedichte und ihren Schreibstil sehr und habe auch schon ein paar neue Lieblingsgedichte<3 my biggest fear is that we were meant to be. what if we were wrong, and we missed out on all the ways we were supposed to love each other. what if timing and space was just an excuse that we used to separate two hearts that beat simultaneously. maybe we are going to live the rest of our lives watching the wrong story unfold.” unfortunately I didn't enjoy this book half as much as I expected.

Home by Whitney Hanson – eBook Details

The way her words harmonized with my soul, this book has become my favorite poetry book I have ever read. Hands down! (and I’ve read a decades worth.) I enjoy how this book seems to have a clear relatable voice while touching on tough topics and also having extremely poetic elements. It is almost like reading a diary of her life experiences that she just so happened to turn into poems but they also feel so intentional as well. Sometimes with poetry, I have seen that authors focus too much on the language sounding pretty but they don’t say anything (at least that I can understand as a person reading for entertainment without deconstructing each line which is what some of the poets want, it just is not my favorite form of poetry so my opinion is a little bias). Whitney Hanson can create such amazing pieces that while sounding poetic and beautiful, have a voice that is easy to understand and wants to say something to the reader. She uses simple word choice overall, which blows my mind because I always try to “sound like a poet” when I write. This collection shows that you don’t always need “big fancy words” to create good works, even though she does have great use of word choice throughout her pieces. She wants the reader to relate and be able to feel what she is saying in her work. I believe that the voice she chose allows for that throughout her collection.But I wish Whitney the best and can’t see if she will develop her talent! The message is beautiful, of course, it’s about heartbreak and healing, but I feel like this wasn’t it. And this book, as much as I wanted to like it, I really couldn't. It was just boring and disappointing. I feel that it's just the second version of "Home", which I also read, but that one I wouldn't even call poetry - it was more like a diary and love advices, than poems. I guess this wasn’t just my cup of tea. I wish there was mention that it’s not only poetry BUT ALSO quotes / poetry prose, because one sentence is not poetry for me. This collection also does an amazing job of using metaphors throughout the pieces. The collection has a clear theme of using weather metaphors and figurative language that begins from the title and the cover art. While each poem doesn’t mention weather specifically, there is often at least a connection that can be made between the topic at hand and some sort of weather. The figurative language also lends itself so well to the imagery she can create in these pieces. She takes intangible things like emotions and turns them into tangible things like weather. One reason why I love poetry is because it can do things with words that some other works just can’t do. I think that the topics in which she chose and the language she used to present them do just that. I am incredibly impressed by what she can accomplish in this collection.
