Bøger af Misty Barber

"Secrets We Don't Keep" is a raw and introspective exploration of the relentless pursuit of societal ideals like beauty and perfection, and the toll it takes on one's mental and emotional well-being. Through poignant prose, the author delves into the complex emotions of longing, self-doubt, and the haunting echoes of past relationships. As the narrator grapples with their inner struggles and insecurities, they navigate a turbulent journey toward self-acceptance and understanding. This collection of thoughts and reflections offers a poignant glimpse into the human experience, where vulnerability and resilience coexist in a quest for meaning and self-discovery.

In this anthology of poems, Misty Barber, a native of Gold Coast, Australia, looks to express and share the experiences many of us have in our attempts to fit in with those around us and find someone who makes us feel truly special, however hard this might be. She draws inspirations from the movies and books she experienced throughout her childhood with the goal of creating her own stories for people who are less frequently written about and for. Delving into the very deepest parts of her emotional expression, Barber can conjure up poems that will speak to anyone who is looking for a reassuring hand that will let them know that they are not alone in their experiences - those anxieties that crop up are universal ones, and ones that are expressed with beauty within this book.
