A brief read but packed with so much heart!  Read it through the library, but this is one I will need my own physical copy of.

poetry about anger and femininity and queerness and love always hits different. trista mateer’s poetry ripped me open and stitched me back together again. a quick and beautiful read perfect for fans of amanda lovelace.

challenging dark emotional hopeful inspiring mysterious reflective tense medium-paced

5.0

I just came here to have a good time but I feel called out. This book was somehow written at me but also about me but also in my point of view but also by someone who has no idea who I am. That's how much I related to this book. Now this. This is one of the best poetry books I've read in a while. 10000% deserves the 5 stars I'm giving it.
