So beautiful. Literally snatching the feelings from my head and heart and putting them on the page for me to see. So much heartache and pain put into such a relatable and beautiful masterpiece.

It was alright. A very nicely written, reflective poetry book. Although I did get bored with it a couple times, not really linking with a few poems, I enjoyed the read. Overall personally I would give it a 4.3.

Reading this aloud is a fun torment
I have this habit of wanting to read poetry out loud so I seem profound even though I don't know how to read it.
I don't know where to pause or where to continue the printed format confuses the crap out of me.
It took me far too long to read this. But I am glad that I continued I am glad that I checked this Book from the library three times and didn't give up

"a bright moon crab digs bunkers into the sand to wait out the wave & the wave is endless & there are waves & waves & i am clutching my entire body tense as the moment you ask me what happened why am i crying again & the best answer i can give you is i can't tell if the crab is still there"
leer este poemario se sintió como una intrusión gigantesca; cada poema es tan íntimo que cuesta mucho entender de qué está hablando la autora entre línea y línea, y se vuelve fácil perderse. si uno no entiende de lo que habla benaim, el poemario es una incógnita masiva, pero si sabés lo que está diciendo hay muchos poemas que llegan al alma. "depression & other magic tricks" es para mí un paso más en el proceso de catarsis de la poeta, y me gustó poder tomar parte en él.
