feels too much like the ubiquitous effort to be as angry and loud as possible in order to overthrow shit rather than of all of us (including & especially men) being softer and more in the generous listening. this debate to me is going toward the false direction.
i am not wanting to discredit anger i am just questioning the sensibility and efficiency of words like these at a time like this (war, social injustice, lived consequences of decades disregarding our home & source 🌍)
also just didn’t find the style of poetry itself compelling

There was no real structure to the "poems", no particular beauty in the phrasing, and I honestly struggle to even call it poetry, when all it felt like was a continuous stream of consciousness speech about (albeit important, necessary) topics that are so overdone in the public discourse because they get "clicks" , they begin to lose all meaning. I don't think these types of works especially do these topics and these struggles any justice because there weren't any actual insights or substance to the poems , it's almost like they were just there for the angsty/emo aesthethic and not much else.
There has to be a way to approach these themes in a more engaging thoughtful way and this book just wasn't it.
