I received a free copy from Harper Perennial in exchange for my honest review.
This is a short, but powerful collection of poems. I marked quite a few poems in my book, especially in part 1. This is Baer's first collection and I sure hope it won't be her last. Plus, who can say no to the beautiful cover on this one??

Kate Baer's poetry is phenomenal. I read this in one sitting and I want to tell every woman I know to read this book--but also everyone else too. There are lines from this collection that will stay with me forever.
