Melancholy & Cinnamon: A Journey Through Mental Hell

it was a gift for a relation

This book is not just a poetry book, it is a journey the author takes you through touching some incredibly difficult topics such as depression and anxiety. As an anxious person myself I found comfort in the author's words, I felt seen and validated, I felt held and not alone. I cried, I smiled, I cried some more, I held my breath at times as the words cut so deep I had to take a moment to centre myself. This is a must read not only for poetry lovers but for anyone who has ever gone through anxiety or depression, this is the book for you. An incredible and vulnerable, yet so powerful ,work from the author!

In Melancholy & Cinnamon, Gabrielle embarks on a journey to recovery, taking us through the many stages of sadness while she attempts to find her way back to the person she used to be. Through the art of beautiful, at times raw, poetry, she allows us a glimpse into a world of personal sorrow and deep feeling, leading us along the pathway through desolation to the other side.
