A balm for these times, and fuel for the fire
Once again Michelle Stradford shares her fierce, achingly beautiful words to help get us all through these unprecedented times. Her poetry is intensely personal, yet universal and life-affirming. Pour yourself a glass of something, back away from social media, and treat yourself to some soul-replenishing. Then, rise. -
What I experienced reading throughout all of the poems in this book is something I can say soaring with confidence vibe, hope, roaring, uplifting, and feeling advocated. The poems written in direct words that required not much effort to understand, which for me makes the poems much more relatable and in a sense assuring.
The author offered various themes in the poems yet still apt on self-love, affirmation, and advocate to equality.
My personal favourites among the poems in every chapter are 'Take A Respite', 'Check Your Lifeline', 'Near Misses', 'Lighter Load', 'Labels', and 'Walk In Grace'. Although I must say that each of the poems, in a certain degree does tell one of our own life stories. -
When I signed on to read a book of poetry, it was with the intention of expanding my horizons a little. Well, that happened all right!
But I find it hard to put into words what I felt as I read. I do know, I will find myself going back to some of these to explore further the feelings they evoked. I'm hopeful, that the poet was looking for just this reaction.
A worthwhile adventure to begin, I feel as if I'm not really done with this one yet.

Powerful and Amazing
This is the second book of poetry I read from this author (Michelle Stradford) from the "I'm Rising" Series. The first one was amazing, and this book, Rise Unstoppable, was even better!! I love her zeal and was so inspired that I shared some of her poems with my kids (yes even my boys). One poem was so vivid it kept jumping off the pages. I found myself rereading it over and over. finally I copied it on a yellow stickie note and posted it on my fridge!!! I recommend this book for anyone dealing with oppression and struggles with self worth. very uplifting indeed!!!! -
I was kindly provided with a free ARC of this book from Book Sirens. This is a beautiful and empowering collection. The poems flow wonderfully but can also be read as stand alone pieces. I’d really like a hard copy of this (I read an e-copy) to be able to flick through and mark my favourite poems.

I have always struggled with poetry, understanding it and relating to it. Enter Michelle Stradford! This incredible book of poetry is easy to understand and relate to. It's easy to see that that theme of this is self-love and empowerment...something that is definitely needed!
