Trade Review“Shelby has done it again! This collection is absolutely stunning. I loved the story it told and how it showed the growth and healing she has gone through and is still going through. There is so much to take away from this collection and I recommend it to anybody who loves poetry, especially the writing of poets like Nikita Gill or Amanda Lovelace.”
—Catarine Hancock, author of shades of lovers “
changing with the tides is one of those poetry collections that speaks to those who have always seen softness and strength as synonymous. Shelby's ability to write about emotional trauma with such delicacy is truly remarkable. Her sensitivity comes through in every word—making the reader feel like Shelby isn't only sharing her own personal experiences but is being mindful of the reader's comfort. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is coping with anxiety or looking for some healing words without having to read something heavy. Thank you, Shelby, for striking such a graceful balance with your poetry.”
—Marya Layth, author of Driftwood
