Poetry Collection Review: It Will Have Been So Beautiful by Amanda Shaw

 



It Will Have Been So Beautiful is Amanda Shaw's debut poetry collection. Within the pages of this book are five sections of poems symbolizing home, love, loss, the human experience in a world growing more disconnected by the minute, childhood, and more. 

The imagery and creativity draw you in. The poignant reminders of earth's life hanging in the balance of change provoke thoughts. The focus of home and what it means no matter where you exist around the globe reminds you of our connected experiences. The natural elements from the solar system to flora and fauna that make up our world tickle the senses. 

Favorites for me are...

And the Stars,
Love at 24,
Allegory of the Thumb, and
Ashes, Ashes.

It Will Have Been So Beautiful is a moving collection encased in a stunning cover. I look forward to Shaw's next collection.
