The Musings of a Crazy Cat Lady in the Dark by Valerie Fabian is an honest and heart-warming read!

This collection of poetry covers many topics—love, heartbreak, grief, changing seasons, and many more. Valerie Fabian's poems range from to-the-point, to filled with stunning imagery!


True to its title, there are quite a few humorous moments that left me smiling. The title also captures the contents of the book fully because of the way the poems almost read as a stream of consciousness, mostly experienced when sleep evades you—from here, to there, and everywhere!

Some of my favourite pieces include: "Each Sunset a Heartbreak," "A Love of its Own," "A World of Two Halves," "The Floods of War," "The Silent Forest" and "Freckles."


The piece that spoke to me the most has to be "Waves of Grief"!

or nothing at all?" (Continuum of Reality)
