this was so stunning!! every single poem had so much depth and heart. i also loved the inclusion of all the art (salvador dali is one of my favs!), it really added to the poetry collection and tied everything together so well!! one of my favorite lines was: " i donโ€™t know whatโ€™s better,

the father that abandoned me, or the memory of the one i got in his place." this one rlly shook me, and i loved it. and ofc, as always, you played with the structure of your sentences in such a beautiful and meaningful way as well. i adored this entire collection sm!!

Great collection, Lia. The opening piece is heartbreaking. I loved the reappearance of the raspberries. There are so many berries running through these poems, fruity poetry in the best possible way. The accompanying images were beautiful too x

thank you <3 berries are so synonymous to the woods and the fruits we grew on our dacha, i didnโ€™t realize it until it was everywhere. thanks so much for the read :)

This was incredible writing I was transfixed the entire way through the repetition of the clocks and the berries your heritage and stories told from your relatives and their reactions to you as you discovered the world through them this was so touching I am so glad you shared

Also the art work was phenomenal truly good picks for all that went along with your work brilliantly

<3 thank you so much, olly! this project is incredibly personal and was at times difficult to write, so i am so happy you found something that you resonated with, within it ๐Ÿ–ค btw, you read it before it was fully edited! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

thank you so much for reading, it truly means a lot to me <3
