All Girls Will Not Feel Pretty at Some Point
All Girls Will Not Feel Pretty at Some Point | Elizabeth Tsung
1 post | 1 read
Featuring twenty-five poems by Elizabeth Tsung, all girls will not feel pretty at some point is a gripping debut anthology that grapples with issues of identity, violence, femininity and coming of age. The poems weave through the intersections of life, from the ache of growing up different in the suburbs, to the adolescent feelings of displacement and alienness in one's own life, to a maturity haunted by shadows of the past. These poems, paired with evocative illustrations by Trevor Williams, tell stories of survival, growth, and acceptance; of motherhood and daughterhood, of prettiness and ugliness.

I liked the themes in this book and really loved a few of the poems, but others felt dense and jumbled and didn't fully resonate with me.
