No hurts wasted…

Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2022

Verified Purchase

No hurt needs to be wasted. This book is a collage of the trauma and pain each contributor has tasted. It is a timeless collection of poetry that stands as a tribute to the human spirit. I hope you hear it. It is in the roar of the pen and the weeping ink. It will bring you to tears and make you think. When wounds are given a voice, courage is sown, connections are grown, and healing is known. May all who read these poetic stories remember…you are not alone.

I absolutely loved this book! Each and every poem was so engaging and inspirational! It felt like going through a journey of metamorphosis, when I read each poem. Each trial/tribulation and then triumph felt like my own! This is a powerful book and will help spread voice to those who need it! Nothing short of a masterpiece!

A True Gift for the Soul

Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2022

Wounds I Healed is a noteworthy achievement in literature for its international reach and scope, inclusion of female and male voices, variety of forms, and transformative impact. The book’s content has been meticulously curated to expose wounds while also liberating writers and their audiences. This bold conceptual framework surpasses expectations, making the book a true gift for the soul. The marvelous and expansive collection of authentic voices stirs the heart transforming fear, shame, pain, and much more into a lovey Garden where self is nourished, lifted, and affirmed. It is an honor to read a collection of this nature and hear each voice. As a whole, Wounds I Healed is a testament to resilience that will not go unnoticed in literary circles.

Powerful, Timely and well spoken by incredible poets

Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2022

The poetry is visceral and relatable to women of our times. As they say, "we've come a long way baby" and we have a long way to go. The excerpts and poems in this book bring home the importance of supporting women on every level. We need to stop the trauma that has been inflicted by a patriarchal society and be part of the change. This book is a 10 and speaks volumes to raising voices and making change lasting and real once and for all!

A thoroughly recommend work. The contributors coming from all walks of life. We can see many heartfelt accounts of struggle and success. I was genuinely moved by many of the poems! Not about this, not about that, but about how we come through it - and are made stronger because.

Definitely a recommended five star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Women's poetry at its best

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 10, 2022

Verified Purchase

What a fantastic collection of poems that handle a wide range of women's views and struggles. I'm biased because two of my poems are included, but I have been dipping in and out of this anthology most days since I got it.

A Metaphor Par Excellence-- A Book Review

Reviewed in Japan on August 5, 2022

Verified Purchase

If we are a metaphor for the universe, and poetry is a metaphor for life moments, Wounds I Healed: The Poetry of Strong Women by Gabriela Marie Milton is a metaphor par excellence.

Because life and woman are metaphors for resilience-- the power that lives-- she overcomes struggles.

Wounds I Healed; The Poetry of Strong Women (and men) captures the pain and forced silence, brings it into the light, and returns us healed to the time before time. This is the crux of the soul of this poetry book I'm reading slowly.

I purchased the book in print and started reading from the back of the book for a few days, opened to the front another day, and let each poem seep in and wash over my soul. A book of 360 pages, holding together 200 poems by hundreds of star-studded authors comprising men and women, deserved I do this poetry collection differently. And the book, a true testament to challenges women face in our society, is working its magic, healing my wounds.

I'm not done reading this collection yet but wanted to leave an honest review in hopes that more people will go out and get it. It is THAT good. And for those who need more to make up their minds and to add value to this review, I'll add portions from this stunning and unique anthology by Gabriela Marie Milton.

The book holds the words of award-winning authors, pushcart nominees, emerging poets, and voices of women and men across the globe.

Because life and woman are: (words from the book follow)

"as delicate as the blossoms of a dewy lilac tree...
"those trampled into the sand do not sink...
"for as fragile and tenuous as they may appear they stand the eternal test of time ever rising as Easter Morn for they are the She Shells they are women ~ The Shells by Nancy Richy pg. 265
*
"A vision born when I was a young girl, living in a Texas motel...
"This vision saved me from drowning...
"The vision that pulls me forward, has remained out of reach. With this truth, I am at peace. Four decades later, I finally see: the home with the strong foundation, is me."~ Finding Home by Michele Lee Sefton Pg.309
*
"for letting my fingers speak is like bloodletting it eases my pain and soothes my heart...
"Now what is left is just me me, as I am, not me, as you want and this the me I should be."
~ Labels by Punam pg. 253
*
"Page after page I've written my own story, filled with thousands of Nothings and thousands of Everything, that do not realize perfection, but it's life.
"... and sometimes, in the summer, it gives you fields of flowers, over the ruins of a past you climbed, to get to where you are today." ~ Sometimes, In the Summer by Andrada Costoiu pg. 84
*
"Water saturates my lungs-- sometimes I do not cry enough; salt springs to the surface none too late. Surrendered to a turning tide, I'd drift without anchor of pride, dropping shame's unnecessary weight...." ~ Findling Only Fog by Tres K. pg. 187

I hope this 5-star review has served its purpose. I highly recommend the book and cannot wait to read more anthologies like this one by Ms. Milton. Thank you. Selma, a satisfied customer in Japan.
