The Way Back Home by Courtney Peppernell
2.5
ARC GIVEN BY NETGALLEY FOR A HONEST REVIEW
Comparing Courtney’s first ‘poetry’ collection to this, there is a clear improvement, no more ‘poems’ that are made up of five words. Yet, I think it’s still very similar. Themes and writing style are still the same.
I do believe calling it a poetry collection is being generous, it’s not really poetry, it’s prose. most of the poems, rather than the solid blocks of words in a paragraph, are still a few sentences with line breaks added randomly.
If you enjoy Courtney’s previous work and if you like insta poetry, this would be suited for you.
