I'm not going to rate this because I'm definitely not qualified to judge the quality of poetry. I really appreciate this in terms of a person's expression of their thoughts and feelings, but I so far haven't found poetry that has especially moved me. But I definitely did like these poems?? Wow I don't know what I'm talking about.

Narrated by the poet. This is a heartbreaking collection told so beautifully.

These poems were good but for me they lacked a certain *spark*. I think they touch on important topics and feel deeply personal, but they just didn't do much for me personally - they almost feel too clinical and precise? Not sure exactly what it is that I'm missing.
