the princess saves herself in this one series

Picking it up, it seems to be like a normal book. The pages are set up in a very interesting way. I not only appreciate that, but the way she wrote it, too. It appears that it took a lot of time for her to get the courage to publish her work. Lovelace’s writing style is very important in this poetry collection, and she uses her words very carefully. I fell in love with the poetry in a new way.įor the poetry junkie, this is something I would one-hundred percent recommend. I found myself making notes at whatever poems I felt went together and sort of connected them at the end. One thing in particular that I loved about the sections is that they all went together, or referred back to other sections. I am completely in love with the way she threw all of these “unacceptables” onto paper.” I really enjoyed Lovelace’s work in this section. She discusses how you should continue to always live your best life, no matter what horrible things come your way. Lastly, “you” is the most inspiring section of all.

I would honestly recommend this section alone. This section is compiled of endless happy poems about how her life is finally falling into place through the finding of her true love. Lovelace starts to discuss college and how she met the love of her life. My personal favorite section, “the queen,” is very powerful and uplifting. The word choice in this section is nothing short of powerful. It also talks about how she began to mend the relationship with the father she never knew. This section discusses the death of Lovelace’s mother and sister and how it impacted her. Moving to section two, “the damsel” is very hard to get through. Although this was not my favorite section, it was something that will stick with me. Through her journey of abuse, she talks about how her upbringing was something she will never forget, though it was horrible for her. Section one, “the princess,” is about Lovelace’s childhood. I would advise that only readers high school and up read this because of the topics and the occasional swearing. Sensitive topics basically make up the entirety of this short “story,” from the author’s childhood to college life. It digs deep into subjects society does not normally acknowledge as “okay” to write about. This collection of poems written in four sections is something to admire. If you’re ever looking for something that’s not necessarily a book, but something to read, look no further: the princess saves herself in this one, by Amanda Lovelace, is nothing short of spectacular.
