Book Review – Unleashing the Power Within: A Journey of Self-Discovery Through Poetryby Lisa McCarthy Reviewed by Realistic Poetry International
A Journey of Truth, Courage, and Growth
McCarthy’s poetry reads like a journey inward. Each poem explores a layer of the human experience—grief, trauma, hope, and ultimately, renewal. Her writing doesn’t come from a place of finality or perfection; it comes from the heart of the process, where transformation happens. This makes her work both accessible and profound, as she invites readers to walk beside her, not behind her.
From the very beginning, the book sets an affirming tone. In her poem "I Am Enough" (pg. 13), McCarthy declares a sense of worth and self-acceptance that reverberates throughout the collection. It’s a message that uplifts while remaining grounded in real-life struggle and resilience.
