- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Another stunning volume from Ms. Croome. These poems are vivid and absorbing and deliver a punch that will make you see, make you feel, make you understand even when you don't want to, but there's a good balance, enough to soothe your soul along the way. What I love about Ms. Croome's poetry is the beautiful written prose with bared intensity that doesn't shy from harsh realities and experiences. I always come out from the other side feeling slightly shattered and a lot more awake to my world and the people I share it with.
