There were also themes of love, loss and self-care. All very important topics in my opinion. I could really relate to some of the poems and I think that definitely ensures higher enjoyment with poetry collections. This poetry collection is one you definitely want to own, my eARC will disappear in the next couple of days and I'm already sorry for that.
I want to keep on looking at these gorgeous designs, and read these poems again. If you're like me, and don't read a lot of poetry, I would definitely recommend this poetry collection! This was the first poetry collection from Wilder Poetry that I've ever had the pleasure to read.
It is an achingly beautiful work of art. The intensity of the poems are juxtaposed with calming black and white watercolor-type imagery of the moon in its phases, birds, trees, and other nature-related things.
The poetic themes seem to be centered around the poet's identity and the euphoria, misery and pain of love in its highs and lows. Her voice sounds quite young and that should appeal to readers in their teens and twenties. Readers of the poetry of Atticus should enjoy this collection very much.
Nocturnal is a perfect collection of poems, all with the underlying theme of darkness, insomnia, the night sky, and the like. The poems are stunning examples of humanity and the emotions we all experience at one time or another in our lives. Loved everything about this collection. The artwork was completely stunning as well. I adored this book. It is so beautifully written, every page touched me on some level.
I found myself making notes, sending quotes to my friends, and re reading pages again and again. Poetry isn't for everyone, but this collection is truly on another level. I can't recommend it enough. Heart warming. In simple words, wilderpoetry will win you. Most beautiful part of this book is the design.
I will re-read this poetry book and fall in love with the graphics all over again. This poetry collection is visually stunning. I loved a lot of these poems compared to when i read Milk and Honey by Rupi Kaur. To me, these poems were soft and gentle compared to Milk and Honey where it was more forward and aggressively, not in a bad way but more inspirational wise, honest to the point.
The poems had many topics but were mostly about love and loss and self-love with comparison to nature. I'm a huge sucker for these types of writing where they in-cooperate and personify nature as if they are someone there for us all the time if we just bothered to look their way. I took some screenshots to make them my phone background!
Excuse the comparison of these two books but they are the latest poems that I've read and are written in the same poem format that I didn't know existed.
I'm not a big fan of poems most of the time but I'm loving and enjoying this format! Definitely will seek out more. Thank you NetGalley for providing a digital copy for an honest review. With poems that really touch your Soul, Nocturnal was a marvelous read. One of those books that at the same time that you wanna devour because it's one beauty after the other, you also want to take your time, enjoy every one word, every page.
Read, digest, feel and then move on to the other. Re-read the best ones. When the best one is every one. This was a breath of fresh air, worth enjoying and digesting.
I look forward to ownig a physical copy for my collection and recommend this to those looking for new poetry to read. I really enjoyed this short poetry collection. I will say that the short poems didn't always click with me as much as the longer ones did. This collection managed to be heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time, and it's been a while since a collection gave me those feelings. I also really like when there's illustrations in the collection, and the ones in this one were stunning!
I actually love this book! The illustrations and the poetry really compliment each other and make a wonderful experience to read it. I read this book at night, with a slow instrument in the background, and I felt the world is so quiet and the timing was just perfect to read it.
I usually I have a little problem poetry, in a sense of me can feel the connection with the poem itself or not. And even though it happened with few poems, I still love this book so much. I related so much to this poetry book. Nocturnal was a book that I read quickly and truly loved.
I was surprised at the mix of emotions and how much the poems meat to me! I and will recommend it to anyone who needs a boost emotionally. Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for sending me a digital copy of this book. The opinions are entirely my own. Nocturnal features lovely poems in simple words, the same tumblrish style that is quite trendy and effective right now. What I like the most about this style is the power these simple words have and the great meanings and themes they deliver.
Most poems are about insecurity, love, self-love, nostalgia and a connection with the sky. They are simple and beautiful. This is a poetry collection about many subjects. It talks about love, loneliness, self improvement, you get the jist of it. So, what makes this one worth your while? For starters, the poems themselves are beautiful.
They deal with sensitive topics in a delicate and wonderful way. Not only that, this book is absolutely gorgeous. I loved the illustrations that accompanied this as well! Rather strong collection of poems where a theme of self care is predominate but doesn't become overly so, nor does it become to preachy. Was impressed by the poet's command of language and imagery.
Would happily read other works by them. With thanks to Netgalley and the publisher to the arc in exchange for an honest review. Another perfect poetry book! This book has quality poems and amazing pictures! They told me to run like The Wind but I was the one creating it. And many more! I totally recommend it!

Justyna A short but with lovely book for fans of both authors, but also a lot of insight into freedom of speach, creativity and the importance of libraries. Some words to take to heart, some words to live by, some words to get more liberated in the pursuit of artistic endeavours.
Definitely a good thing to read. You don't know it yet, but it's likely you need this book.
