Renaada Williams

becoming. by Renaada Williams is a lovely collection of poetry to fill your TBR shelf with!

The poems are short, sweet and simplistic. They are the type of poems I want to read on a rainy day where I can stare off into the distance with my tea and ponder their meaning. It's quite lovely, to be honest. They aren't too long, they aren't full of weird metaphors that leave me confused, and I found them to be even put in interesting designs. I quite liked them!

Even the acknowledgements were in a poem, and I found that to be super cute!

I'd highly recommend these if you want some poetry and want a quick read. These are beautifully written and make for a quick read.

Three out of five stars.

Book: Becoming
Author: Renaada Williams
Genre: Poetry, Feminism
Review:
"Being broken is a matter of opinion"

Beautiful, at the same time aesthetic cover. The cover has the same feelings which the poem conveys in this book.

"some say
if it doesn’t hurt
it can’t be love
but
if it does
you
shouldn’t want it anyway"

Becoming is a simple yet powerful little book of modern poetry. Williams' poetry collection is very personal and touches on subjects such as depression, abuse, self-help and self-love.
My Opinion:
This book is simple, but it doesn't stand out much. Most of the elements in her books are repeated and similar themes can be seen in many modern poetry.
This book loses its essence with grammatical mistakes and unnecessary spaces and sentence are broken to give emphasis, but in this book, it is too much.

A good book for amateur or new reader's. I would say this book needs some editing and some more creativity. There is a potential yet to be discovered.… (más)
