This book connects to you in a emotional way like no other.Ms. Latifi has truly proved that she isn't a one-hit wonder but rather a poet that will make the history (and literature) books for generations to come. With poems that our generation can truly connect to, it almost feels that she was speaking to me directly. You can see Fortesa grow as the book progresses and it gives hope to everyone who has ever gone through pain in their lives.This will definitely be my Christmas gift for many of my friends.A definite must read!
I'm generally not a huge fan of poetry but wow, this collection really hit home for me. Fortesa is really able to capture a lot of the feelings that I've experienced through my four years of college. It's similar to how the lyrics of a song seem to perfectly match your life and seem to written for you. I found this book to be a huge comfort and I'll often go back to reread certain poems to help me through a rough day.I highly recommend "We Were Young" for anyone in high school or college.
Fortesa is an amazing poet who manages to capture so delicately the pain and solitude of early adulthood and mental illness. This book has become one that I carry with me almost everywhere I go so I can find comfort in her work. An amazing collection.
There is a quality to Fortesa’s writing that is incredibly accessible. Her poems are easy to read, easy to relate to and most of all - powerful. You will find pieces of yourself, your best friends and all the people you love within theses pages. There are words and lines in this book that stay with you, that refuse to leave your mind. Poems with teeth, poems that bite down and leave marks on your skin, but in the best possible way because you want them to stay with you.
An absolutely amazing collection of poetry that you will want to read again and again. Latifi expresses raw emotion so eloquently, and her poetry will touch you at a personal level. Her first book seemed to take thoughts straight from my mind and turn them into something beautiful, and her second lives perfectly up to expectations.
