Words for the bruised but still beating Hearts

Some kind of record is a deeply personal collection of unfiltered thoughts, reflections, and poems. It captures the inner conflict of love, youth, loss, mental health struggles, self-discovery, and emotional turmoil. Each line feels like a page torn from a soulful diary, which blends diary-like reflections with lyrical poignancy, and every word from the book breathes with heart-spoken truth. It’s not just a book; it’s an invitation for the readers to witness Marina’s journey and perhaps, in the process, recognize their own within it.

How did this Book Hook the Reader’s Heart?

i think every girl should read this. especially the ones who are still figuring things out and pretending they're fine when they are not.

from a teenage reader

Marina's words are brutally honest, and as painful as some of them were to read, i'm incredibly grateful they exist. This book is a bridge between generations.

from a mother of a teen daughter

this book isn't just for poets. it's for survivors.it's for anyone who's looked in the mirror and didn't recognize themselves, but still wanted to try again. you turned your pain into poetry, and somehow reading it helped heal some of mine.

from someone in recovery

as an english teacher who has worked with students dealing with trauma, identity crisis and emotional upheaval, 'some kind of record' is one of the most emotionally authentic poetry collections i've ever read.

from a high school english teacher

marina's words channel more than just emotions, they speak to the divine struggle of being human. a raw gem of spiritual art.

from a spiritual coach and energy healer

marina's voice isn't just poetic--it's truthful. I hope this book ends up in schools.it's the kind of thing that needs to be read, not just analyzed.

from a high school senior

this book is tough in places, but beautifully necessary. it touches on things we don't often talk about--shame,desire,mental health, identity. It's the kind of poetry that teaches emotional literacy.

from a middle school counselor

it's rare to come across something that defies conventional categories the way 'some kind of record' does. it's poetry yes, but also memoir,diary, confession, and prayer. There's beauty in how unapologetically raw the poems are. some of the readers may find them jarring--but that's exactly the point. this isn't poetry to be admired from afar. it demands proximity. It demands empathy.

from a book blogger and reviewer

there's a rare blend of rage, longing, innocence, and raw vulnerability that reminded me of an early Ani Difranco or even Sylvia Plath, but in Marina's own voice.

from a college student in queer lit

this is not a polished volume, and that's what gives it its literary muscle. The lack of filter is its structure. nakedness is its form.. it is poetry in its rawest sense-- and it should be preserved that way.

from a college professor of literature

This book breaks every rule I usually look for in submissions. and i love it. there's a raw, diaristic power here that doesn't need polish--it demands preservation.a true example of art through survival
