I feel my body and mind are disconnected, except when my worries wage against me and I stay up all night concerned over past transgressions and burden with future bad decisions that have not happened yet. I felt I was reading a reflection of my anxieties and fears. Off the bat, this poetry collection is calling me out. Shelby Leigh is one of my new favorite poets. Especially with this book, I feel like I needed to read it when it got to me. I am so happy that I was one of the chosen few. Leigh's words move through the process of healing in a way that ultimately left me feeling uplifted and seen.First, I must thank the author and the publisher for sending me a copy to review.
“This book is full of tender sincerities that touch on issues such as anxiety, insecurity, and loss.
Thank you, Shelby, for striking such a graceful balance with your poetry.” -Marya Layth, author of Driftwood I highly recommend this book to anyone who is coping with anxiety or looking for some healing words without having to read something heavy. Her sensitivity comes through in every word-making the reader feel like Shelby isn't only sharing her own personal experiences but is being mindful of the reader's comfort. Shelby's ability to write about emotional trauma with such delicacy is truly remarkable. “ changing with the tides is one of those poetry collections that speaks to those who have always seen softness and strength as synonymous. There is so much to take away from this collection and I recommend it to anybody who loves poetry, especially the writing of poets like Nikita Gill or Amanda Lovelace.” -Catarine Hancock, author of shades of lovers I loved the story it told and how it showed the growth and healing she has gone through and is still going through. “Shelby has done it again! This collection is absolutely stunning.
