About the author

Becky Hemsley is a British poet and author who lives in Leicestershire, in the middle of England, UK. She has written four collections of poetry, a children's book of her viral poem Breathe and a children's book of the poem Starlight. She has appeared on mainstream radio and top ranking podcasts and her words have been shared across the world. Her aim is to help people realise that what they feel is universal and that they are not alone - words of hope and healing are always her aim.
She loves taking Autumn walks with her family, dancing with her friends and sitting in coffee shops with her notebooks, watching the world go by for inspiration. She is particularly passionate about the power of children's stories to develop, encourage and inspire.

- Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2022I love this poetry book so much, that I have now started leaving notes and tabs all over in my book. I carry it with me whenever I go out in public with friends or other women and I share poems from it all the time with them. I have used these poems in church groups with women who are learning self care too. I can’t praise this woman enough. Becky Hemsley is an amazing artist with so much soul! So glad I found her through TikTok and now have some of her words in my life to help me express and convey some of my deepest feelings!

- Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2024I loved all of these Poems! My favorites are "The Butterfly" "The Dam" and "Breathe", but I like all of them. I just lost my baby sister that was 26 and these Poems just really said what I feel.

- Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2024Love everything about it from beautiful cover and beautiful words.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2022I first became acquainted with the author, Becky Hemsley on social media, where she shares her poems against a plain background. No visuals needed as your soul sees and understands. Poetry of empowerment, life and relationships.
I purchased 5 for gifts and a book swap. All positive reviews. It arrived quickly as expected.
Easy to read. Keep on the nightstand, in the car or on the coffee table for a quick read and a day of wonderment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wunderbare Gedichte
Ich liebe diese Gedichte von Becky Hemsley. Sie schreibt mir aus der Seele.
Die Bücher, egal ob gebunden oder Softcover ( habe zum Verschenken beides gekauft), haben eine tolle samtige Haptik.
Wirklich etwas Besonderes im Bücherschrank!
