Keeping Long Island is her third title release, and the first under her new book brand, Pepper Books. Courtney has been writing her whole life and focuses on Young Adult novels and Poetry Collections.

Pick a section and process it one at a time because you need it or because you want to understand something. Maybe they won’t work for everyone, but for every day they convince you to push through, that’s one more day you might find the reason.Īs an overall collection Pillow Thoughts is filled with more emotions that I think I could handle in one sitting, so while it is a poetry book and thus you might think an easy read, I’d say let the book speak to you. They’re there for you when you need them, if you feel like there’s nothing else to hold onto, there are these guided words that might convince you to stay.

Some of the poems are titled and have form while others feel much more free verse. The style of poetry within Pillow Thoughts ranges a bit. There are separate “chapters” for different emotions or situations, ranging from “If You Are Dreaming of Someone” to “These Are For You”. ![]() ![]() This seems to have been the year for poetry books coming back into my life and Pillow Thoughts was certainly a good choice to be among the first.
