Think of this book as a surgery if you will. A surgery being held on my life, my emotions, my everything. As with all surgeries, the goal is to come out better than you entered the operating room. My hope is that through examining the parts within myself that are the most painful to touch with brute, unedited, and unrestrained honesty you will be able to see yourself in some of these parts. I will be touching on subjects that all human beings think about daily even if they do not verbally express these thoughts. The book will be concluded by a reflection period in which everything will wind down, the surgery will end, and it will be time to honor everything you've received from this dissection. I love you all and thank you for entering this journey with me. Now please grab your chairs, and put on your masks and gloves. It's time to begin.
Reflections and lessons learned: “If you don’t know who you are it’s harder to find your purpose…”
Another poetry book of advice and balance of emotions through first person basis prose - I was attracted to it before reading but really enjoyed this one and immediately added to my middle of the night soothers - really glad toast the author narrated for full intonation
“Don’t say that I gave up just know that I tried…”
Dissection, the perfect title for this book of contents. This collection of words, poems and passages was both healing and entertaining. A journey of self hatred being worked out, life somewhat introduced. A higher power swooping in as the salvation. I enjoyed every bit of it. I especially burst into tears when I read, “To my preschool teacher / it’s fuck you too”. The level of pettiness to remember something so small as other portions of the book dismiss larger events was just really something for me. The excerpts from other writers, refreshing. It was nice to see regular people come together to gather thoughts. I only wish their grammar was a bit more up to par. Overall, a definite recommendation to all poetry lovers and those whom are seeking healing.
