Synopsis

Bridgett Devoue takes you on a journey into the transformative world of love, lust, heartbreak, and abuse, and discovers the steps to finding lessons within pain.
why does love become abusive? and when does pain become a lesson?

Soft Thorns Vol. II is the continuation of author Bridgett Devoue’s debut poetry collection Soft Thorns and picks up on her journey of self-discovery and seeking answers to the questions all of our souls inevitably ask.

Similar to Vol. I, Soft Thorns Vol. II is a five-chapter collection of long- and short-form poetry accompanied by gorgeous illustrations, this time in collaboration with artist Laura Kline.

Devoue is not known to shy away from the darkest corners of the human experience; in fact, she dives deep into those waters and allows the reader to explore the shared vulnerabilities that all of us face. Her poems touch on topics such as longing, lust, toxic love, self-destruction, confusing breakups, abuse, and overcoming it all through finding light in even the darkest of places.

Devoue’s exploration into these topics is relatable to any human struggling to find peace in life’s turbulent waters. This book won’t give you a life boat, but it will show you how to swim. This is the book for the curious, the dreamers, and the struggler’s, those who carry an insatiable urge to grow and the knowledge that life offers more for the fearless explorers of the unknown; this book speaks to the aching soul that lives in all of us.

About The Author

I don’t think of myself as a writer, but as a human sharing my vulnerabilities with the world, the ones we all carry within us. My work centers around searching for the things that make us uncomfortable and shining a light on them. Having overcome my own years of darkness, I’ve learned to embrace the “bad” and find beauty in all parts of our souls, from our petals to our sharp thorns. The driving force behind my writing is my need to connect, with my soul, with the world, and with you, so feel free to reach out on social media and let me know about your own thorns.

Goodreads review by Laur on July 01, 2021

Soft Thorns Vol II, is a poetry composition that is raw, mournful, lustful, pitiful, painful, decisive and healing. Five chapters that nearly made me bleed with conflicting emotion for her. In Ms. Devoue’s prologue she states: “ Don’t worry if it burns a little...that’s what happens when you play wit......more
