How does Maggie Nelson walk around with so much talent in her, without its sheer heaviness dragging her down?
Mother, the Christian hypocrite
and I, of her blood. Under
her influence — how much am I —
and I love her — at least
if I can love at all
I do.

reasoning for four stars: some of the poems and sections felt significantly weaker than others. nelson’s real strength is with her prose poems, in my opinion. my favorites were “lies” “sisters” and “ghosts.”

Maybe I just read it too fast, but I didn't feel that much of a connection to Jane throughout the book, wich I thought was kinda disappointing, but that was really the only thing I didn't like. Amazing book, and got me out of a reading slump so plus points for that.
I want so much-to be versatile, charming, warm, deep, intelligent, accomplishing something, loving,
fooling around, giving instead of getting, cheery not driven, sure not uncertain, possessing not anticipating, answers not questions.
