The Truth about Magic
The Truth about Magic by Atticus has been on my shelf a couple months now and it actually has a funny story behind it. I fell in love with poetry when I read Frank Prem‘s Devil in the Wind so it is not surprising that while searching for book signings to go to, I found this poetry book. I am sorry Atticus fans, but I did not know about him before picking up this book, and that is the funny story coming up. Let’s take a quick look at the synopsis and then I’ll dive right into the why and my thoughts.
The Truth about Magic by AtticusThe Truth About Magic builds on the pains and joys of romance explored in Love Her Wild and the New York Times bestseller, The Dark Between Stars—heartbreaks and falling in love, looking back and looking inwards—by taking a fresh, awakened journey outward. An adventure into the great unknown. It’s about finding ourselves, our purpose, and the simple joys of life. It’s about lavender fields, drinking white wine out of oak barrels on vineyards, laughing until you cry, dancing in old barns until the sun comes up, and making love on sandy beaches.
The Truth About Magic is a vibrant, transcendent journey into growth, which will leave you energized and eager to explore the wider world.
Why I chose to read The Truth about Magic
Like I said, I did not know about Atticus post-book signing event. He wears a mask! He wore a mask the whole time! I had gone to the event with Clinton’s mom, and both, Stacey and I were quite taken aback by the sheer number of the crowd and his mask.
That aside, what got me interested in this book was the name and cover image – yes, this is one of those books I picked based on aesthetic and nothing else. 🙂 And to be honest, I am not disappointed. I think the aesthetic of the cover does a good job of showcasing the feel this book has.
Themes for Thought
There are some very interesting reviews for this book out there. Atticus writes about a man’s passion for poetry, women and writing. Later, he also goes into the way girls should be treated, their self-esteem and the kind of love they deserve – all from a girl’s point of view. A lot of what he says in this book is not new. The fact they we fall in love with someone not because of who they are but how they make us feel has been known to me for a while but for people new to these facts, his words likely resonate with them.
I think the collection overall was a good one. There were lots of pictures to go with his words and there were some poems that I truly liked. This book took me about 2 hours to read. 🙂
Instead of themes, I want to highlight three of the most thoughtful parts of the book! Let me know if you feel the same way about them. Poetry can have many interpretations so I’m curious to know how they resonate with you.
On Ourselves
Not everyone has a good image of themselves. There are parts of us we hate, and other parts we love and feel proud of. When we are feeling down it is the parts that we hate that make us think that we are monsters and we just want others to accept us for those parts as well.
On Dreams
There is much solace that comes from living out our dreams in our minds. Sometimes that is enough. This isn’t really a poem – it is more of a thought and The Truth about Magic is full of many such ideas. This one spoke to me because it reminded me of the dreams and wishes I have which I would have liked to make true but I am better off without making them reality.
It also showcases the power of what we can have. Knowing that some dreams are possible and within reach, is sometimes enough.
On Meeting The One
This is the one poem that made this book worth it for me. It summarizes exactly how I felt when I met Clinton – I had dreamed about being with someone like him for a long time and in my mind, I had been with him while living those hopes. And then, when we finally met, I knew I had the chance to get to know him for real. He is a lot like the person I imagined myself to be with, but he is also so much more. 🙂
