Caitlin Conlon is one of my favorite poets; I've been looking forward to this book so much, and it did not disappoint at all. Having finished it, my heart is so full, and tender, and open.
The poems in this book are gorgeous, and I don't know where to begin describing them. I wrote down so many lines from them that I loved, and notes like "'Clairvoyance' destroyed me." Caitlin knows so well how to toe the lines between grief and love and brokenness and healing. Her poetry makes me appreciate all that is soft.
I absolutely loved this book, and I'm so happy more people will be able to read it soon. I would recommend The Surrender Theory to any fans of Caitlin or poetry in general.
Thank you to Netgalley and Central Avenue Publishing for the chance to review this ARC.
