My favourite poems are To Your Dreams Collecting Dust, We Are Here: Raw, Then, Go Share It and You Ain’t Broken. ![]() I would have been happy to read something much longer. The collection is very short and I devoured it in one sitting. The poems in Release YOU have all the tropes of modern poetry powerful imagery and universal ideas and issues personalised.

(Just Breathe Poetry, 23 June 2020, 35 pages, e-book, #ARC from the poet and voluntarily reviewed) By the last page, the reader will embrace their authenticity unapologetically and ultimately heal. In turn, that gives us the space we need to blossom into our best possible versions. Full of powerful affirmations for the present moment, poet Jasmine Farrell teaches us that the only way we can actualize our dreams is to release what no longer serves us: those self-limiting beliefs, naysayers, and haters. YOU is the art of letting go in poetry book form. ![]()
