Pieces of Me

This first poetry book by new author Jordan Freels gives us a provocative glimpse into her life from her perspective. Pieces of Me is a page turner of Ms. Freels’s life, loves and losses. The reader is able to observe through her prose as she navigates, sometimes painfully from teen to young woman.

At times emotionally disturbing and raw in it’s delivery as in “It Makes Me Sick”, written to her mother after an argument and equally touching and sad as in “Empty”, where she longs for love. In “Fatherless Man” she unleashes her strongest rage and brokenness to a man who walked out of her life when she was an infant.

We can recognize a part of our youth in her despair of lost love and celebrate with her as she delights in her achievements. Several short stories separate from her poetry are also included in her book. The characters are all flawed and fictional, and perhaps one day Ms. Freels will expand on their stories.
