This collection exuded energy and passion, was deliciously experimental in form, and full of darkly beautiful imagery.

“eggshells” was one of my early favorites in the collection, but I was also really drawn to the Cyclone Songs part which I felt contained some of the strongest content and was certainly that which resonated most for me.

While I don’t think it’s essential that poets “explain” their work, I did really appreciate the notes at the end which gave context to some of the works - they are connections I otherwise would have missed so I found the guidance helpful!

Wonderful words, and I can’t wait to read more of Barnes’ work! Thanks to the author for sending me a copy to review.
