I instantly loved this book. It's a collection of love poems with the feel of free-verse poetry. Some of them are sad, others are sweet, still others are affectionate. But all of them resonate with passion and intimacy. This would be a perfect valentines gift for that special someone!

This is a fantastic film except for a couple of awkward moments. One being Lois' poetry and the other the unfortunate inclusion of "Give a Little Bit" by Supertramp. Those two moments are the only things that truly date the movie in my eyes. Despite all that, it's still a classic.

Fatimah Asghar's poetry in If They Come For Us is everything I hoped it would be. It was raw and powerful. Her words paint her world and pull on your emotions. Her verses gave me chills and left me breathless. I particularly fell in love with My Love For Nature.

"I dove into the middle of it instead of starting at the beginning. I came across a lot of beautiful poetry of the whiteness of the whale and the colors of nightmares and the great spirit’s spout…I turned back to the start: ‘Call me Ishmael,’ and I was in love!"

This is the cutest and most aesthetically pleasing novel
"But you're not the kind of girl who builds her house from sticks; you are a fortress, stubborn and strong. Do not give away the keys to the kingdom to anyone less than a king."

I can not get over how much I love this little poetry collection. It wasn't your typical poetry collection and had a lot of underlying feminism within the context. I will definitely be holding this novel close to my heart and will be rereading it again. Everybody should be watching Lang Leav and should be grabbing her novels like they will be going out of style because she is an amazing author.
