With Open Arms Poetry for Big Love and Real Life Joan Gregerson Books Reviews
Joan has a very down to earth way of writing. I enjoyed her book a lot! I laughed, I cried and laughed some more. I love the tidbits of wisdom in her poetry as well. I ve enjoyed her poetry/writing so much I also follow her blog. Great book! So good that even as a busy mom I read it in one sitting. Enjoy!
this book has a mixture of every kind. Love, Happiness, letting go, etc. This is a book that has an inspirational pull to anyone in any given situation. Beautiful!
I received this book as a surprise bonus when I won a First-reads giveaway for "Tuning In To Inner Peace". Thanks so much! This is a thoughtful, fun little book of poetry that I really enjoyed. I especially liked the poems about the author's father. My dad is also deceased and I appreciate the spirit of remembering those "little things" to connect with who he was as a person instead of focusing on his passing. Great book of poetry!
"With Open Arms" is only 68 pages long, but every page is a blessing. The poems are about real life issues that we can all relate to - love, happiness, change, recovery, and letting go. There is even a section in the book where Joan gives her thoughts about each poem. These poems are very personal, so I applaud her for having the courage to share her innermost thoughts. I have no doubt that many people will benefit from reading them. There are several poems in this book that really resonate with me, but I think my favorite is "New Day". It's such a simple poem, but with such a powerful message. I want to recite it each time I wake to face a new day!
"We are immense, pretending to be small" is a line from Gregerson's first poem in this book. That grabbed my heart and I could not put this little gem down. I have happily left it out to read again and again! Thank you Ms Gregerson.
