Book 1: Love Poems For A Dollar
This is how it all started..
I had always wanted to write a book but never ever have i assumed that it would be a poetry book? Not in my wildest dreams but i remember listening to songs on repeat, crying my eyes out, writing non-stop till i was spent inside. The process of writing this book was pure therapy; i found my voice-it was muted for so long. I found a part of myself that was basically dead in the struggle of motherhood, this book was my CPR and i brought that part me of me alive.
What i like most about this book is its tone; even as a first book, it still delivers the message of ‘I see you, i will tell all the wrongs you did, i will not be silenced again’ without any fear. The opening poem-the poem that gave this book its tittle will always stay as my favorite.
”A naked soul will never be appealing like a naked body.”

Love Poems
A decent collection of short love poems . A variety of pain , sorrow and a dash of happiness to ask ourselves why we chase this feeling . Definitely worth the price of admission .

Interesting Poetic Journey
It is always interesting for me when you read poetry. There is such passion and in the search to find the right words the author usually finds amazing ways to imbue emotion and far more. I follow the author on a social media platform and when I saw the book I was intrigued and ordered it. What I found created more and more questions.
Cathy Blue weaves a spectacular series of emotion eddies and currents to make you consider the depth of love and life. Her verse is neat and clean and Does not spare words nor overuse them. The emotions are often conflicting and I actually asked questions after I had read the book simply because I was honestly interested in the constant sway from elation to despair. Her answers were as poetic as the verse itself and I once again contemplated many of the words I have considered and written.
If you are a romantic or even a romantic at heart this is a super read and may open your mind to the concepts of love and passion and how they lift us but create vulnerability along the way. A fun read.
***** stars as it made me think, which is what every book should strive to do.
