I have always loved Clementine's poetry, but this is the first time I read one of her books. It's complex, it made me ache and cry and smile and it was just amazing. She's an incredible poet and everything she writes can touch you in a way no other poet does, I'm really proud of all of her work!!!

Wildly inconsistent. It is thrilling when Von Radics really hits it, the problem is that she can follow a killer poem with a "meh" poem. I would upgrade this to three and a half if I were able to. She does have obvious talent and will only get better as she matures.

This was an engaging and thought-provoking collection of poems. I didn't love every poem, but overall they were poignant and emotional and raw. Her words are powerful yet have a vulnerability that's difficult to describe.

"whether it’s the days you burn more brilliant than the sun
or the nights you collapse into my lap
your body broken into a thousand questions,
you are the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.
I will love you when you are a still day.
I will love you when you are a hurricane"
All of this and much more. I think this is 3.5 stars gearing to a 4 for me. I've been following Clementine since tumblr days of old and I've always found myself in certain poems and sometimes the wording stuck to my brain for days on end. I like the stolen breaths her poems sometimes invoke in me, the gasp of the audacity that someone wrote exactly what I was thinking, but just better.
