Andrea's poems will always make me feel like I am in the moment that these poems take place. You will always make me feel emotions that I don't even know. Thank you.

I was startled by the beauty of what could be made without me...that line hit me hard! I remember visiting my exes new place and feeling something like this...

[@Muneerahislam]

Love and light my dear…I felt this

[@JasonMcGarva]

That line hit me hard too. So precise and easy to imagine what that felt like in the moment that realization came.

Go vote for this book on Goodreads. It's a finalist in poetry. I already did, and Sunday when I get paid, it's going to be my delicious holiday gift to myself.

Heyyy!! Oh my God Andrea is such an amazing poet.. Btw i have a weird question😅 some months ago i found an incredible poem by someone in button (could be Andrea but I'm not sure..), I don't remember almost anything but there was a metaphor with the post war feeling and how it is not over for the people who lived through it just because the war is.. does anyone know what poem I'm talking about, I'm looking for it so hard but I can't find it!! 😅😅
