Publisher's Synopsis
If you have ever loved and lost, been labeled a hopeless romantic, looked for love in all the wrong places, or any other unfortunate cliché involving love, then "I May Be A Romantic, But I'm Not Hopeless" may be the poetry book for you. Follow the author's messy and sometimes dark journey through relationships as she tries to find self-love and hope at the end of the tunnel.
What people are saying about the Collection: "I May be a Romantic, But I'm not Hopeless" is a fairytale-esque read that is no fairytale at all. Alycia Hodge shares her very real journey to self-love with the reader and spares no truths of her humbling experiences. From romancing the stone and kissing several frogs to facing heartache from those closest to her at times, the author shares what she's learned of love along the way. The works of poetry are relatable and lead the reader to the critical understanding that love comes from within. Her art provides a dark yet whimsical visual to the emotions one feels as they follow along with each story. I appreciate the candid and vulnerable experience this author shares in such a raw and open way. At times it was like looking into a mirror. It serves as a great reminder to hold love within yourself as it truly exists rather than the watered down version we have been sold. Joe Mykut, author of Beautiful Boy
