”love is forgiving, consistent, and kind. i know that this is not the love you have learned but it can be the love you are learning.”

Hanson intrigued me with her poetry readings on TikTok and she convinced me to buy this book. The poems are written in a Rupi Kaur-esque way, but instead of enjoying 5-10% of the poems in Kaur's bundles, the poems in Hanson's "Home" resonated/moved/intrigued me about 40-50% of the time.

I still prefer the TikTok readings, but this is not a bad place to start if you want to start reading poetry and are away from home (both in the symbolic and literal way).

This is a good read for those who have been left behind by someone.

It holds such a powerful message that you could (and you would) continue to grow even when love ends; that it would take a hell of a lot of courage to move forward but you will eventually heal and see the beauty in what you have gone through. ✨
