After the excellent reception of her book of poems Flowers by Mistake, Natalie Blunt presents us with her second collection of poems: The Broken Body.
These pages immerse us in a set of deep reflections and daily observations about the body we inhabit. From her sensitivity and feminine perspective, the author addresses the fragility of our corporeality and explores the pleasures and pains we experience throughout our existence. With subtle, meticulous and naked language, Blunt exposes her own spiritual and corporeal self, unraveling the complexity of human experience through poetry. An invaluable gift for any woman.

Readers' reviews about Natalie Blunt: The ordinary transformed to extraordinary, wisdom made accessible, words turned to grace, charm, and laughter--that is the poetry of Natalie Blunt. Brava! ☆☆☆☆☆ I received an arc copy of this book, expecting to read a poem a day over coffee, but instead went through the whole thing one night on my couch because it had pulled me in so effectively. The writing is well crafted, moving in surprising but perfect ways, and the mostly daily life situations and thoughts regularly escalate to something that feels like a profound shared understanding about what makes up living via Natalie's way of knowing the right honest thing to say. Really loved it and highly recommend.☆☆☆☆☆ One shouldn't judge a book of poetry by its cover or title, and Flowers by Mistake is one of those collections. This set of 43 verses has made an enduring impression on me. Through each of these verses, Natalie Blunt has done an outstanding job of voicing her feelings about her desires, kids, family, and her life in general. Her poems claim that she harbors desires that may have been buried when she got married and had children. Nevertheless, aspirations never die, as is evident from this collection.☆☆☆☆☆ I am a poetry lover. Reading and writing poems have always been my comfort place. And after a long time, I read a poetry book with which I feel so connected. Flowers By Mistake by Natalie Blunt is a poetry collection that has no theme in particular but at the same time covers the themes that we feel every day. The author's note itself, which says, This is a very personal book, but it can also become your book if you make it your own. If the words here resonate with you, then it is your book, our book. And this book truly was personal. ☆☆☆☆☆Also from
