Letters to Jupiter is a poetry collection that explores a tale of the fragility of the mind. With each poetic letter, written by an unknown narrator seeking to let go of the past, we see life at its darkest time, brightest, and examine how much a person can grow after a life-changing event.

This debut poetry collection covers a wide range of subjects. I enjoyed the growth that the poems demonstrate, although not all of them rang true for me. Some of the symbolism is really interesting and contemplative—acid tears, blooming buds, and the moon included.

One of my favourites was this:

ONE MILLION
i felt like an impossibility
of all the world's creations
why did i exist
to leave nothing
but a bruise on society
but a world without
differences
is one that isn't human.

Overall, this is a short but delightful poetry collection.

Thank you to the author Lotté Jean for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Synopsis: Letters to Jupiter is a poetry collection that explores a tale of the fragility of the mind. With each poetic letter, written by an unknown narrator seeking to let go of the past, we see life at its darkest time, brightest, and examine how much a person can grow after a life-changing event.

Review: This was a cute collection of poems. I really thought the book did well to paint a vivid picture and it would be a great book for the poetry lover in your life. The poems do deal with some difficult subjects like toxic relationships and the importance of self care. 

Verdict: It's a sweet book.

I was happily surprised by how much I enjoyed this collection of poetry. It was raw and thought provoking, making me stop and pause to consider the deeper meaning of many poems. Some of my favorites were ‘Boundary Breaker’, ‘Time Bomb’, ‘Singularity’, ‘Sweet’, and ‘Forget’. These poems were powerful and left me aching; “why did i exist to leave nothing but a bruise on society”. Several lines of poetry stood out to me personally but every page was filled with beautiful and unique poetry. This collection kept me captive until the very end, leaving me to devour it in one sitting.
