A resilient journey through a season of loneliness, as cycle of heartache, and a year of depression–this is what she unexpectedly found within the depths of her brokenness and how she emerged stronger.
This book unapologetically explores the feeling, healing, and revealing of depression and the power of asking for help and being open to receiving support from nature and others, while giving a creative and empowering voice to emotional pain.
As I wept
in the arms of darkness,
I heard the voice of my grandmother say, Nothing stays the same, darling,
not even pain.
Life is a path of change.
Of ecstasy and ache.
So, no matter what the storm claims,
let love light the way.

Soulful poetry refuge
This is the book my 2020 needed. I read this hungering and found my appetite for connection, in this time of hurt detachment, satiated. The relation of human experience is delivered one breathtaking page after another. I found myself crying healing tears. I found myself writing healing inspired by Tanya's digging deep and not flinching. This book is magical soulful. I'll return many a time to it's wisdom.

Thank you. What I needed to read at this time in my life. I enjoyed the 'modern' poetic verses. I could very much relate.
A Journey through the darkness
Poet Tanya Markul comes back with a sequel to her first poetry book The She Book with V.2! She continues in this poetry series to use emotional pain to create powerful and inspiring imagery about surviving dark times and finding our place and strength in this world. Here’s one such poem: “Hey, mermaid, Life is either a water drop or an ocean depending on the depth of your courage.” - Tanya Markul (one hundred forty-two) She seeks a common connection with the reader by pouring her heart and soul out with vulnerability onto the pages and showing that we don’t suffer alone, even in our darkest most seemingly imperfect moments. She shows through her words that we are all resilient. If she is able to heal and emerge stronger by embracing the power within, we can take this step to join her as well. Here is a poem from the book that illustrates this: “She laughs. She growls. She dances outside the tent. She’s a sip of moonlight part wolf and a whole lot of magic.” - Tanya Markul (one hundred fifty-seven) It’s a journey through darkness where the author valiantly leads us out to the other end with words to deeply move and encourage us and remind us she is walking right beside us through this crazy adventure we call life. Thanks to Netgalley, publisher and author for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Poignant
Powerful! Poignant! Strong! Passionate! When I read, The She Book v. 2 by Tanya Markul, I found a new voice of empowerment. The strength of her words has the ability to lift up, to edify. Her words were steeped in reality, no holds barred. I would reccomend this book to any woman that feels unheard. You are not alone. Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher, and Tanya Markul for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Beautiful poetry
This was a beautiful book of poetry. Bounced around quite a bit and found it a little hard to follow at times but otherwise was written well and was very touching. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
An okay read.
"These pages describe how she survived the furthest depths of her personal darkness." The tips for how to use the contents in this book was a nice beginning part of the book. This was an okay read much like The Sheered Book v.1 was. Some of the poems felt choppy to me. It was like 2 different poems pasted together into 1 and it didn't flow properly.
Beautiful Book
If you want to pick up a book that will reach deep into your soul and both poke and caress your deepest pain, this is it. This is the book that beautifully encompasses what it means to heal from hurt, to find yourself, to be authentic, and it does so in unbelievable, gorgeous poetry. Highly recommend for anyone, especially anyone going through a challenge or transition or coming to a place of peace with their story.
Speaks to my heart, validates me and helps guide me on my path
Love everything about Tanya Markul...her words speak straight to my heart and help me to find my way. Thank you Tanya! 🙏🏼🧚🏼♂️💫
Healing, Inspiring, comforting read.
Once again, Tanya Markul puts to words what we all feel inside. Her strength inspires! Her, “I am a real person... I struggle and I sparkle”, quote comes to life. Brilliant. The women in your life will thank you for this book. 💪🏼
