Book Description
Poetry. Latinx Studies. Women's Studies. LGBTQIA Studies. Film. Music. BIG FEELINGS is a grand tour of love and loss, femininity, and the nuances inherent in the simple messiness of being alive. Bella masterfully works within the ambiguity of feelings that do not ever truly end, of what it feels like to be a ghost within those feelings, and she guides the reader through the origin point of every haunting. She navigates the tragedies of heartbreak, the experience of brown girlhood, the loneliness ingrained within artists, and the courage it takes to get back up again even when it feels like you have already died many times before. With compassion and much needed humor, BIG FEELINGS allows us the necessary space to be alone with one another. At once a time capsule of love and loss, and a hymnal book of protest songs against the current political regime, the reader becomes a lucky passenger in bella's car, driving the scenic route through her brilliant and expansive mind. The book reads as a memoir in verse. The poems travel both physical and emotional landscapes, journeying through vibrant New Mexico and through the often lonely road of living as someone with 'big feelings.' We get to meet bodega cats, Ariana Grande, her family and her loves, but most importantly we get to meet gigi; wholly human and wholly herself. This book is as tender as it is fierce, and will be opened like a gift by the hearts of so many.-Andrea Gibson

All the Feelings of Love
Author: E.J Powell
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation

Languages : en
Pages : 105
Book Description
Often more than not, we try to put our love experience into words. I have collected all of mine and done just that. It has been done all around the world for centuries in millions of books. But what is unique and new, however, is my perspective of love. I have been writing my accounts of love since I was a young girl. I have seen the love my grandfather gave my grandmother till he passed away, the love my parents never gave each other, the love of a friend, and many more. I have seen them all and experienced some. They are the best and the worst of life, and I still have more yet to endure. My experiences are not only mine. Many of us have been through such events that are similar, and maybe you will find that one in my book. I hope my book will open the minds of the world so that they can see love in its many different forms, feelings, and identities. Love is not just a four-letter word to be thrown around as if it has no meaning or life itself. My stories and songs of love speak to anyone who has ever been touched by love. Even if you haven’t, you will be able to understand what I feel and know that love will come and touch you soon.
