Blurb:

the tenth poetry collection from amanda lovelace deviates from the well-worn path of fairy tales & myths, instead bringing readers face to face with the person behind the poems that have made her beloved.

from bestselling poetess amanda lovelace comes she followed the moon back to herself, an autobiographical standalone poetry collection that follows a woman who—through heartbreak, bottles of rosé, & the general messiness of life—felt like she completely lost who she was. each bitesize poem shines a light on where she’s been & how she’s managed to overcome it all, offering a dose of hope & moondust to all who join her on the journey back to herself.

Review:

As usual, I really enjoy Amanda Lovelace's poetry. I marked a lot of poems in this one (again, as usual.) One in particular stood out to me and definitely reminded me of myself. I found this collection inspiring, hopeful, reflective, and even a bit whimsical at times. I would definitely recommend it. A good start to getting into poetry, as well.
