Some poetry’s power comes from how it was written on the page, and although the narration may still be powerful, just reading it may illicit more emotions. I came out of this listening with some favorite quotes that truly touched me-“Poetry showed me how to bleed without the need for blood.”/ “Some names will always be cursed.”/ “Words should heal-not burn.” I listened to the audio version of this poetry book, but I would encourage teens to also read the physical copy of this book. Readers are given poetry about poetry, about empowerment, and about self realization. it told a story all throughout and it was my favorite from the women are some kind of magic series. It would not have felt quite as impactful if someone else had narrated the poetry. The Princess Saves Herself in this One, by Amanda Lovelace Only show reviews with written explanations nessma s review against another edition Go to review page 3.0 idc if this is considered 'poetry' or not, but i still loved it however way.

I liked that she was able to narrate her own poetry because this was her story to tell. Amanda Lovelace, the author, narrates her book for a little over an hour. The speaker then explains how she was able to find herself and grow. The speaker (assumed to be the author) explains how her mother was abusive and some of the tragedies that occurred within her family. Readers then follow the speaker’s journey from childhood up until the age of 19. The topics are difficult, but teens should have the right to decide for themselves if they would like to continue reading. I believe that including this message is helpful. The poetry book starts with warnings about the content-self abuse, sexual assault, child abuse, and so on.
