This collection of poetry centers women, femme, and gnc experiences and also intersects with perspectives from women of color and queer identifying people. Despite this there was no sort of smaller theme amongst all the poems, and I was a bit confused as to how they were grouped in each section because there didn't seem to be any common threads or obvious reasons as to why certain pieces got placed with others within their chapters. I do appreciate poetry and short written pieces but the majority of these ones didn't hit me hard enough for me to remember them. However, there were 2 pieces that stuck out to me and I'd rate them individually from the collection as 5 stars - "An Open Letter to the Protestors Outside the Planned Parenthood Near My Job" by Elizabeth Acevedo and "In Support of Violence" by Christopher Soto.
