Not bad
The ARC of this book was provided by @andrewsmcmeel via @netgalley in exchange for an honest review. I’ve always loved @langleav. She was one of the first poets I discovered. This collection had a lot of self exploration within it, but very relatable. Leav details the struggles of being an independent woman & not waiting for a man, the feeling of being in her 30’s, it dabbles into self love, being happy...& so much more. This is the kind of poetry that fills a void inside of you. I will definitely be reading again. I won’t say too much because you need to read it. Grief Grief is like a flower the way it blooms and blooms. It is a heart-shaped wound that never closes A mouth, always wanting More love is found in grief than in love itself Like a diamond that can only be cut with another diamond grief is the only thing that cuts through love.

Poetic Beauty
If you have read Lang Leav's previous works and enjoyed them, then this book will definitely not disappoint! The book titled "September Love" is a continuation of Lang Leav's signature poetry and prose delving into the subject matters of Love, Life, Age, Being a Woman and more. Through every poem you find a piece of yourself and sometimes more than one piece in one poem. The first few poems are a little slow going to be honest, but as you read you find the pace and the poems building up to end in a crescendo of magical musical writing. I especially loved her poems After Thirty, To Past Generations, Taking Time and Self Control. There are more but these four really stuck with me. If you haven't already gotten this book, it is out now and I recommend if you love her poetry to do so! Thank you Net Galley for the ARC.

Hopeful
Thank you Netgalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the arc! This is the first poetry collection I have read by Lang Leav and it did not disappoint! I honestly fell so hard for her writing. They way she wrote about self, love, and femininity really resonated with me. There was a poem where she explains her clarity on life once reaching and passing 30 which is so true. I have yet to reach 30, but I am a little over two years shy, and I felt the ticking time bomb she mentioned. To relate so much to her writing and then seeing her promising a future for young women was so comforting. I just feel incredibly safe in Leav’s words and will definitely pick up her earlier collections.

Powerful
Beautifully written and laid out. Self hope, self love, anxiety and depression mixed with self doubt. I felt like this book was speaking to me and for me. It was so beautifully written and resonated to my core. Highly recommend. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Different than her earlier works
As an early lover of Lang Leav's bold and lyrical poetry style in her titles like Love & Misfortunes I'm disappointed to find those traits that I loved so much are lacking in this new book. There wasn't any constancy to topics through the pages or a clear directive to themes. Each page adding to the jumbling nature of this collection and subsequently this year, which may in fact be the point? A few read more like Leav just thinking out loud to her bedroom ceiling and later scraping together whatever else was leftover from previous works that she once rejected for later use. (Later being now with this book). The poems themselves I found to be a total toss up a mix of being just okay to all together forgettable. Before, even if I didn't fully relate to a poem Leav's written I could still admire how beautifully it was put on paper. But at the end of this I felt no real connection or amour with it. Which makes me question if this was just a fluke or if I should start being wary of future releases too.

Great book!
Lang Leav is a great poet and novelist, international bestselling author, she was the winner of the Goodreads Choice prize for poetry in 2014. I have read some of her works and I must say that her poetry is so exquisite and deep, it makes you feel alive. Poetry is another language, a deep world where literature makes a mixture of thousand feelings at the same time. Well, this beautiful book is a collection of poems about love, life, relationships, and sensations, makes me want to feel alive, to feel free. I enjoyed reading this book, easy and fast to read, but I think is specially written for those who love poetry and find in it a world of deep thoughts that will inspire them. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this advanced copy.
