Voyage - The Poetic Underground #2

I found these poems by mistake on Pinterest- I read one about a tree; found another poem posted and after reading several more decided to get one of the books. I find them having a wide assortment of emotions - certainly not all happy go lucky but rather a very realistic view on many things I have felt in my life— some I haven’t but it give me a better insight to understand things others might be going through. I am enjoying this book and the assortment of topics the poet has wrote about.

I like so much how her poems range from different and very personal experiences of the author that are so relatable. Also, I love the rhyme in her poems.

Erin Hanson’s poetry is powerfully deep. She captures the world so perfectly and forms it into poetry. These poems make you think. Some make you sit there in awe and just say “wow” because what you just read was so deep and so real. I love her poetry and highly recommend these books.

Heart felt poetry. Beautifully written.

I love to read and then come up with my own writing. The annouying part is that I write at night and then can't shut my mind off. Instead of going to sleep, my subconscious keeps looking for words that rhyme. This can go on for hours.

Loved the poems and whenever I need a pick me up i'll read them. I also like having them out on the coffee table to let others read when they come over and they really like them as well

Beautiful book of verse...keepsake or gift for someone special. Poems are also lovely and inspiring.

This young Australian woman is simply mesmerizing. Pay attention. We have a new Emily Dickinson. Ms. Hansons' thought-provoking poetry pierces your heart. This fey child lays her soul bare for all the world to see. I pray she never stops writing.

This poetry is written by a 19-year old girl, but you wouldn’t say it, since she writes with such amazing insight and depth, really amazing. Some of her poems are funny, others are witty, and others are just heartbreaking. They make you think and reflect. I love it. The only downside is that Erin Hanson didn’t write more, but since I keep re-reading her poems over and over, I decided to buy her entire collection of poems in the three volumes that are published. If you aren’t familiair with her work, I’d suggest to look up for example the poem that starts with ‘What is the grass is always greener’ or the one starting with ‘Welcome to society’. I can highly recommend these and I’m happy Amazon sells these.

The book is rather thin, a little disappointing for the price. However, the poems are exceptional. As someone who has never necessarily been a huge fan of poetry, her poems touch me on a deep level and I find a connection with each one. The subjects can be somewhat dark, touching on domestic abuse and suicide for example, but it's written in such an elegant way that is so moving. Honestly the best poetry I have ever read.

I initially shared a few verses with members of my Caregiver Support Group, then, upon request, ended up ordering copies for our facilitator and some members.

Bought all three of Erin Hanson’s books at once. Love her works, reading the poems out loud and hearing the rhymes is very pleasing and calming. Would’ve wished for a cover of a higher quality.

I love reading and writing poetry. EH is a clever user of words and poetic form.
