[dis]connected, Volume 1: Poems & Stories of Connection and Otherwise by Michelle Halket
4.0
A collection of short stories and poetry, Disconnected is a book that features an incredible collection of poetic talent from the likes of Amanda Lovelace and Nikita Gill.
The stories are really something in this book, sometimes hard hitting, sometimes beautiful, in particular Cyrus Parker’s and Amanda Lovelace’s stories really strike me in this book.
In between these stories are poems that just space these stories out perfectly. Nikita Gill and R.H.Swaney’s contributions in particular are excellent and really add to the connections of these stories. The variety of contributors in this book is immense but they all work flawlessly together to create something truly great with this book, bringing emotion and flowing poetry to the fore.
A book that blooms as it goes, if you need a short story collection, get this one.
