pick4/5
Such a beautiful collection inside and out! I really loved the layout of this book. Six section with an interesting fact about Octopus to begin each new section. With a beautiful cover and stunning illustrations throughout! Farook is a very talented writer. I loved her vision of love and heartbreak in this collection. So deep, moving and relatable. This is one I will definitely revisit.
pickA beautiful collection of poetry. her work is is separated into 6 different sections, that all relate to the Octopus. The way that Salma has beautifully been able to articulate each section and have it flow as one book was magical. It made my heart sing. I won‘t say too much about content because I think everyone should pick this up.... but just know I shed a few tears while reading this. (And dare I say it may be one of my favorite poetry reads).
