I loved the overall feeling of this book. You can tell just how much in love the author is with their partner, it shines through her poetry. This collection feels like lounging on the couch with a glass of wine enjoying your favorite romance movie.
Though verging on the saccharine at times, this collection of poetry is warm and cozy and hopeful about love in a really refreshing way, earning its title. Many of the poems have a spoken word vibe, and the theme of months and seasons reappear and weave through the variety of formats to create a varied but complete whole.
Orange September reads like a diary, a love letter, a monologue to one self, a story. The reading journey visualise this love story like a movie, like you are in their headspace through the ups and downs. It is an interesting point of view of writing, however the writing is about average to my liking, I would still recommend this if you'd like a short love story written in modern poetry.
This book and the emotions of Jasmine Farrell will envelop you. The hues of sunrise and sunset come to mind with the words shared. There are passionate and loving pieces that will draw you in. This is a wonderful poetry book, that will make a great lesson plan and book club selection.
The poetry isn’t fussy. The descriptions of love are relatable and ordinary. Sometimes love is like that and Farrell paints a simple but pretty picture of just simply being in love.
I received a free copy of this book and I am writing a review without prejudice and voluntarily.
