There Should Be Flowers by Joshua Jennifer Espinoza

challenging hopeful reflective sad

5.0

it took me so long to get through this because this book absolutely ripped me open in a raw and painful and necessary way. I’d finish a poem and read it again and then read it three more times to make sure it had fully sunk in. I’d finish a poem and flip back four pages to reread that one again too. This book is a beautiful act of survival. I finished the last line and immediately went to preorder her book that comes out a year from today.
