Rendition Concering Books The Anatomy of Being
As Shinji Moon's debut book of poetry, The Anatomy of Being is youthful and fragmented, a journey inward from the perspective of the hopes and pains of adolescence. Broken up into four chapters, she holds your hand and takes you inward with her, from skin to flesh, to flesh to bones, from bones to all that lies within. Both heartbreaking and hopeful, The Anatomy of Being marks a very distinct time in a young girl's life, and aches and aches to be heard and devoured. 2013 Goodreads Choice Awards Poetry FinalistList Books During The Anatomy of Being

"Let's call it social hemophilia. Someone touches me and I bleed for days."It's as though someone had found my dark confused soul, condensed it into ink and imprinted it onto paper. Never before has a book resonated with me so bone-deep and done it in only a few pages. Wow. Just wow.Here is what they don't tell you:Icarus laughed as he fell.Threw his head back andyelled into the winds,arms spread wide,teeth bared to the world.(There is a bitter triumphin crashing when you should besoaring.)The wax scorched his skin,ran blazing trails down his back,his thighs, his ankles, his feet.Feathers floated like prayerspast his fingers,close enough to snatch back.Death breathed burning kissesagainst his shoulders,where the wings joined the harness.The sun painted everythingin shades
Oh. This book. Okay, the backstory - I stumbled upon Advice from Dionysus on tumblr and fell in love and some months later I recieved this book as a birthday present. And..."Tell this poem how you stood at the edge of the world with a beautiful someone, how you didn't know the last kiss would be the last, and how you never thought that you would spend the rest of you life looking for that same feeling in every city you ever woke up in."Part of why I love these texts so much is definitely that
As a self-proclaimed cynic, I have a really hard time finding poetry that resonates with me (until now). Moon's writing was absolutely beautiful, unapologetic, and vulnerable. She allowed herself to feel everything and I find that incredibly brave. Modern day romance is filled with unnerved, scared, and cautious people trying to dissect each other instead of allowing themselves to stop and just...feel. I guess this applies to me also. This book reminded me of something that I may have forgotten
I really love it but i still think honey and honey was better. I'm planning reread it in future
This is an amazing collection of poetry. It hits you at your core. Personal favourites include Driftwood Bodies, He Loves the Rain, The First Time I Tell You I Love You and It Took Time.I can't read A Letter To My Own Daughter at 18 without crying.The whole thing is magnificent. Invest in a copy and cherish every lyrical line.
