The Romantic is Emma Davidov’s inaugural collection of poetry. Written over the span of 7 years, it is composed of love letters, prayers, vindications, and musings. Each of these are strung together by the strong theme of romanticization of one’s life, a phenomena from which no one is safe. It is a book about the little moments, the big feelings, the intrusive thoughts, and sweet sweet heartbreak. Handle with care… words are sharp and we are so soft.
