Reseña del libro "All the Things I Want To Tell You (en Inglés)"
SHARPLY OBSERVED YET VULNERABLE, POEMS THAT SHINE A LIGHT ON THE WORLD WE SHAREIn this meaningful debut, poet C. J. Canino expresses life in a deep and vulnerable manner, such that others her age are rarely able to put into words. Her poems mirror difficult and poignant thoughts alongside expressions that celebrate the best of humanity. Each word invites us into her mind to challenge how we see the world. This journey is surprising, enlightening, and sometimes heartbreaking. There are few places where pure joy can sit comfortably beside sadness and self-doubt and still feel the full embrace of words as honest and real as these. As Canino uses her poetry to peel back the layers of the world's complexity, she expresses to us her unfiltered understanding of what she experiences and invites us to walk alongside her on the journey. If poetry is emotional vulnerability, there is a reason most people (especially teenagers) do not share their true thoughts. C. J. Canino's poetry is worth your time - it connects you to the raw human experience. This collection has something for everyone.The book contains additional materials to help readers, educators, and students learn more about the author and the process of creating poetry. The author's first childhood poem, an early draft of one of the book's poems, a feature on how and when a teenager writes poetry, a small selection of prose by author, and a question-and-answer section with the author is featured. Submitted as an unpublished manuscript, the book has already won multiple international book awards including prizes for Best Poetry, Best Non-Fiction Book, Best Writing, and Best LGBTQ+ content. "We have to say: this is probably the best poetry book we've read in a year or so. This is extraordinary! Every poem feels so genuine, honest, and lived in. Everything in this book feels earned. There's so much pain. So much suffering. So much blood, sweat, and tears. There's so much introspection. So much thoughtfulness. Conscientiousness. Consideration. So much love. So much fear. So much anger, confusion, longing, guilt, self-doubt, hope, and healing. There's just something about the writing in this poetry book that gripped us, grabbed us, and wouldn't let go. These are more than just words." - Outstandingcreator.com"This book gives a truthful and uncensored look inside the thoughts and emotions of a 16-year-old girl. It expresses her deepest and most honest thoughts about the world around her as she discovers who she is." - Nicholas Seidler from the Foreword
