Book Review: “Every Poem a Potion, Every Song a Spell” By Stephanie Parent

 

Every Poem a Potion, Every Song a Spell
By Stephanie Parent


I just love dark poetry *SO MUCH*, wow. Especially when the darkness is woven together with fairy tales! This was such a unique collection - I've read lots of collections with a sort of similar theme of magic or fantasy or fairy tales, but none done quite like this. I love the focus on tales from all corners of the world -- there were some I hadn't heard of before and I really enjoy books that help me learn something new or make me want to research something outside of reading, which this definitely did!

The poems in this were beautiful - I had several marked with 5 stars, and didn't give anything below 4 overall throughout. Sometimes collections by even folks I really adore the writing from can contain a couple misses, so to have such a solid collection here was a great way to spend my reading time!

I read this digitally but will be buying a physical copy so I can highlight all the bits I liked best.
