About Self Love Poetry: For Thinkers & Feelers:

Self Love Philosopher Melody Godfred shares her first poetry book, "Self Love Poetry: For Thinkers & Feelers," a collection of 200 thought-provoking and heart-opening self love poems. In Self Love Poetry, Godfred explores concepts like authenticity, surrender, resilience, gratitude, believing in yourself, and love, through 100 pairs of poems. This empowering poetry book celebrates the duality that resides in all readers to think and feel. The structure of the book reflects this, with the left side of the book featuring “thinker” poems and the right side featuring “feeler” poems. Godfred’s writings will make you feel seen, show you how to love yourself, and encourage you to seek out the hope and beauty in the world … and in yourself.
