this book has so much imagery. jacqui germain has a very descriptive voice and it's amazing. i've been reading so many different poetry books on race and while the others are metaphorical, this one requires you to have an active imagination while pulling at your deepest sympathies.

A great book of poetry.
I love the way imagery is used in this work. One of my favorite lines: “the screen lit my face and all I felt were teeth” and “I grew two extra fists along my spine.”

Don't read this book if you don't like too much imagery. To be frank, this book gave me chills in some pages but some poems are just too graphically detailed. Hence, I didn't buy a physical copy and just read in an ebook so it was a bargain.

3.5 stars. this was a powerful collection of work. jacqui manages to put you under a microscope with her language, while also wrapping you up inside of it. beautiful.
