Synopsis
Just as the moonflower dares to stand and blossom, growing bright and free in the shadows of the night, may these gentle pages inspire you to bloom, bursting with poetry, in the most unexpected of moments. From celebrated Australian artist Tess Guinery comes The Moonflower Monologues, her second book of beautifully designed poetry and prose. This collection is many things: an exploration of strength and femininity, an invitation to let things go wrong, a reminder that growth comes in many forms, and an acknowledgment that “some things can’t be written in sugar, only salt.” Some of the writings are extravagant, some are sparse, but all are infused with Guinery’s introspection, stillness, and kindness.
My Review
3.5 stars
This is a lovely collection of short poetry and simple lines of inspiration. I loved the simplicity of the cover and the little flowers throughout the book. It creates a certain power to the words. Also it seemed very fitting to the poetry the book contained. I found the poems simple yet inspiring and motivational. I saw it as almost a day a page motivation poetry on self love and feminity and also the simple pleasures in life. I especially found inspiration and connected with the poem called Made Whole on page 156. The poems throughout were light showing the beauty in the small everyday things we do and see. I read the book and felt like it was aimed to be part self love and part self-help.
Many thanks to the author and publishing team for putting together this lovely and inspiring collection of poems.
