I love when poets write books, you (almost) always end up with this kind of magical, disjointed experience. This was a beautiful book that had far more plot / story than I was anticipating from reading reviews of it, and wove the poetry sections in beautifully. I loved the imagery best of all.
Graphic: Addiction, Alcoholism, Cancer, Child abuse, Child death, Death, Drug use, Mental illness, Misogyny, Panic attacks/disorders, Racism, Sexual violence, Slavery, Suicidal thoughts, Suicide, Terminal illness, Grief, Suicide attempt, Death of parent, Murder, Schizophrenia/Psychosis , Fire/Fire injury, Abandonment, Alcohol, Colonisation, and Classism
None of these tags are as graphic as they sound - the book explores the difficult feelings surrounding death rather than being a graphic depiction of such events.graceesford's review against another edition
