A Journal Entry by Marina Flores.

About Book:

Marina Flores captivates exactly what it means to grow up in a small town while being queer. Identity is often difficult to grapple with, not to mention the turmoil of denying one's innermost desires, and small towns aren't exactly known for having a whole lot of diversity.

We are suddenly put in the shoes of a small-town kid who hides their rainbow socks. As if looking back from a mirror, Marina enthralls us by showing exactly who we are, blemishes and all. Self-discovery and tribulation come together as one big happy family in her debut book.

A heart-wrenching and personal account, anyone could find solace in her kind and honest words. An out member of the LGBTQ community, Marina shares with us a glimpse into her world. Members or not, we are handed a VIP pass.

Touching on the themes of queer identity, womanhood, nature, love, and culture - A Journal Entry feels like coming home.

My Take: 

A Journal Entry is a beautiful and elegant poetry book written by the poetess Marina Flores and it’s a must-have poetry book.

Poems are songs without music, it expresses many untold emotions, which directly touch one's heart. I enjoyed every single poem that the poet has gracefully written with passion and love. There is a total of 75 poems in this book and every one of them has different emotions and expressions of love.

I found this book interesting and unique. The poems are fun to read and easy to relate to. I also think it will be easy to make any person feel special by sending one of these short, sweet, lovely poems.

The highlight of the book is the positivity and passion, I felt for the poetess Marina Flores. The poems felt more like a confession and as the title states A journal entry is perfect for this book.

Some of the poems that I love the most are

I love like mine,
The spell,
He can no longer hurt you,
Heart race.

It was really difficult to choose these, as I found each and every poem equally amazing just like the poetess Marina Flores.

Overall a fun and full of a passion poetry book. So click here and read now A Journal Entry written by Marina Flores.

Little did I know that these comics, in my later years, would inspire me to write a feature-length novel and present it today to readers and history aficionados. 3. What is the book
