"The demons will feast on your chaos. Tell them to fuck off, there's love at your core." - This is the overall punch in the stomach type of writing that you get from author Tiffany Simone's second book, Beauty In The Let Go. Simone is back with more Dirty Sweet Poetry with a bit more grit this time. Beginning in a heartfelt introduction, Simone shares some of her past. We discover she's an advocate for mental health awareness, showing there is not only a sensual side to her words, but strength as well. The combination of hard and soft, dirty and sweet...is everything that readers have come to appreciate from Simone's poetry. Beauty In the Let Go is beauty you will not want to let go.
There's an intensity that can only be felt when words are written without force. Like skin made more beautiful because of it's scars, I hope you find my words sexy in their truth.
"The wolf in them doesn't scare me... after all, wild is my favorite game." -Dirty Sweet Poetry, Tiffany Simone (from PRETTY SAVAGE)
"I want to do bad things in the name of love and let the rules of the world d i s a p p e a r."- Dirty Sweet Poetry, Tiffany Simone ( from Beauty In the Let Go )
"She wears her vulnerability like lingerie... all beautiful and exposed. The problem is she really wants to take it off."- Dirty Sweet Poetry, Tiffany Simone ( from Butterflies and Skin)
Tiffany Simone has a way of making even the blandest of words sound magical and sensual, and Beauty in the Let Go is evidence of that. She weaves wonder into every line of poetry. While many of the pieces in this book touch on aspects of relationships, she also includes wonderful glimpses of the woman behind the passionate poetry. I was especially drawn to ‘Blond Hair Black Mood’ for its gorgeous use of detail. And I absolutely loved ‘Get Out’ for its raw, gritty feel. For anyone looking for a beautiful book of poetry, look no further.
