flicker: poems

by Deveree Extein

“You set me on fire / with the light in your eyes / the instant you saw me / I have been burning ever since” Told through original poetry and prose, Flicker is the tale of a young woman bandaging her wounds after getting burnt by bad love. A short collection of raw, honest, and poignant poetry, Flicker is a reminder that you can find warmth within yourself, too.

I had been told of this inspiring new poetry book that was written by a beautiful young lady who touched and inspired many within my circle.
So, I had to purchase and experience it for myself.
This amazing book exposes such inner feelings that as you read the words your heart and soul relates so much that it feels as though you wrote them yourself.
I highly recommend purchasing it and keeping it in a special place to reread it when love offers it strange yet exciting journey in your life again and again.
For love is just that a journey we all experience.

The story told throughout is beautiful. I absolutely loved “Garden”. A quick read but I quite enjoyed it and plan on reading through them again. Although, I do wish some were a little longer because the writing is so beautiful.

I loved the imagery and theme of fire throughout the first several poems. My favorite poem was ‘Star-crossed’. I felt like this was the start to a collection, like I wanted more poems but at the same time some of the first few fell flat for me. The second half of the book picked up for me but I also felt like she had more to say. I’d be curious to read a full collection from her in the future.

This little poetry book was one of my favorites! Speaks about how beautifully chaotic love can be. Reminded me that better days are to come and that even though when you must let go of someone you will always have those memories that will be treasured within the dark ones. A book that many can relate to! Definitely recommend ❤️

Want More!

I would absolutely love to read a full collection by this author! It’s obvious that the poet has a lot of important things to say. Some of the poems feel like they could use a little more, but it is all great writing nonetheless. I would definitely recommend! Very palatable and easy to read in one setting. I hope to see more of this artists work soon!
