Love me Ugly

As the moon grows from a sliver to a full moon, then waning til the dark night sky is empty again, so does love. Love Me Ugly expresses these different phases and layers of love, not only singing songs of happiness and contentment, but bringing light to the rawness it holds. The heart is not always telling of the blooming romance but also the destruction, the chaos, the thrill, the loneliness, the ugliness, all of it. Caitlin Davis-Ruiz presents her collection of poems conveying the message of empowerment around not so pretty thoughts and feelings, encouraging the reader to not be ashamed of all of who they are, and that the most important relationship of all, is the one you have with yourself.
