“This book embodies the spirit of true poetry, classical yet intimate, refined yet emotionally fearless. The author’s greatest strength is imagery and unique metaphors. Discovering Emily’s work on TikTok felt like finding something rare. I’m so happy I followed that instinct to read more.

Each poem conjures a vivid atmosphere you can almost step into, whether it’s the ocean, a storm-stained sky, a quiet front porch, a painting that hums with a muted symphony, a temple built by a lover, or the still intimacy of a graveyard.

The author’s voice feels like it belongs to another era, yet it speaks directly to the heart of our own. I believe literary poetry lovers will deeply resonate with her work, and I’m genuinely excited to read more from Emily!

Highly recommend.”
