Don't Tell Me Not to Ask Why

A collection of work that journeys through the coming of age with clarity and finesse. The poems range from heart wrenching to honest to nostalgic. A good read.

These poems tugged on my heart strings. Each and every person, if you are a true human being, has dealt with loss and various other topics Holmes discusses. These poems truly make you feel something. They bring out emotions especially when you relate to the topics being addressed. Well done and will certainly recommend to others upon publication date.

Bold, daring, and beautiful. I enjoyed the verses in Samantha King Holmes's collection and would gladly recommend them for poetry lovers. Holmes has a capable command of poetic elements, and I appreciate the story that is woven in these works.

Holmes' collection of poetry and prose is filled with beautiful longing, incredible vocabulary, and amazing topics.  She discusses family, childhood, love, bodies, travel, and more.  Her writing is aesthetically pleasing both in design and in word, and each poem asks for something different in response.  This is best read, in my opinion, with a cup of tea and near a window to gaze out of.  If you're a fan of poetry, don't miss out on this collection!

Absolutely beautiful writing!! I loved every page of this book. I can’t wait to read more. The imagery that the writing created was absolutely fabulous and I felt as if I understood where the author was coming from every inch of the way!
