Daring To Take Up Space Review: Wonderfully Thoughtful & Poetic Book for Therapeutic Self-Acceptance - “Daring to Take Up Space” by Daniel Koepke is a book of poetics that works as therapy, advice, &/or self-help toward self-acceptance & better mental health. The key point / goal is in the title, dare to take up space & learn that you’re enough. Learn to be vulnerable, give yourself permission to feel, & work toward becoming one’s authentic self. Love your whole self (on good days & less successful days). Cleanse yourself of shame. Heal. This isn’t necessarily a book I’d pick up by myself, as it was recommended to me by a good friend. The title, cover artwork, & bling intrigued me, & I’m overall glad I took a chance on it. It’s a very positive book, but it let’s the reader know that getting self-acceptance is a journey. There are ups & downs & some days are just about getting through. The book itself is divided into four sections, “Combatting Shame,” “Connection,” “Hope and Resilience,” & “Growth and Affirmation.” It’s slightly repetitive, but in a needful way that reminds that reader of things one has to hear more than once. As far as the poetics, I’d say it’s utilitarian & meant to have as broad an appeal as possible. The language has a simple elegance to it that isn’t too technical or over-wrought, so it’s pretty readable for any type of reader or even people that don’t read often. The sections are all broken down into single page units that one could read a day at a time or as one needs. Personally, I think it’s probably better consumed that way. Different sections would then be better referred to as one needed through one’s personal therapeutic journey. My one critique is a very minor one. I find that the poetics are a bit simple to the point that it’s not something I’d read simply for the pleasure of reading or for writing inspiration. It’s very personal & direct & focused on helping one toward self-acceptance. Not imagistic or with deep or intriguing metaphor or simile. Then again, it’s not from the perspective of a singular poet writing about their own experience. It’s meant to teach & instruct & help. A very minor critique & more just mentioned as it’s very different than any other poetry I normally read & review. It is incredibly thoughtful & insightful as well as caring & soothing. It’s a perfect book to read & refer back to as one needs on the bumpy journey that is self-love, self-care, self-acceptance, etc. Would definitely recommend to anyone whether they’re going through mental health struggles or not. It could be a help to anyone. So glad that I read this & especially glad my friend suggested this book to me. Thank you! 💜 Review: Must Read! - It was definitely meant for me to read this book!!
