Wild, Imperfect and Messy

by Xtina Marie

Xtina Marie is easily a poet who deserves more readers. Her latest collection takes us through a journey of sharp moments. Each poem makes an incision, slowly peeling back layers of beautiful darkness, heartache, and experiences that will dig deep into readers’ hearts.

The verses within offer a glimpse into memories and hopes, and into the raw chaos that makes us all human.

About the author

The Accidental Poet:

Xtina Marie is an avid horror and fiction genre reader, who became a blogger; who became a published poet; who became an editor; who now is a podcaster and an aspiring novelist—and why not? People love her words. Her first book of poetry: Dark Musings has received outstanding reviews. It is likely she was born to this calling. Writing elaborate twisted tales, to entertain her classmates in middle school, would later lead Xtina to use her poetry writing as a private emotional outlet in adult life—words she was hesitant to share publicly—but the more she shared; the more accolades her writing received. Light Musings is just about ready for publication and her first novel: Desiree is well under way.

"Wild, Imperfect and Messy" by Xtina Marie

I received this book of poetry from author @xtinamarie4031 in exchange for an honest review. It's funny that she sent me this when she did because the title describes my entire life for the last few weeks 🤣. I really enjoyed "Old Ghosts", "Van Halen", "Endless Possibilities", "One More Taste", "and Joanne". Xtina has such an eclectic writing style; each poem takes you on a different journey of emotion as you read it. 4 🌟's

Another hit for me. Xtina never fails to please.
If you haven't read her work I suggest you find one hat you do.
