Thank you for sending me an arc copy!! I loved this poetry collection so much. Anja really knows how to put into words feelings that are so universally common in our 20s but so hard to explain and/or speak. My favourite poem was october, but the one i related the more to was honeycombed.

Dion Anja does it again with this even more spectacular collection!!
I really enjoyed her first book, and was so looking forward to seeing how much she's grown in the short time between the two collections. Even at such at such a young age, I feel her language is really sure of itself and she challenges the norm in her writing.
The first poem in the book old wounds / pinky promises set the tone and I was interested to see what else was in store. I loved the entire set of poems in this book, non-referential subject being my preliminary favorite.
I encourage all poetry lovers (and even those hesitant about poetry) to grab this for your shelf & enjoy the ride!
