eh!!!! a bit dissapointed to be honest, given how much I’ve loved everything I’ve read by Maggie so far… i guess it had to happen.

a couple of these poems was glorious but mostly, they were just ok.

this reminded me of the kids in workshop who thought good poetry meant being as obscure and inaccessible as possible. there are some bright sparks in here, but not nearly enough

Some poems I liked, most poems I couldn't get into. That's a shame

Liked this a lot! Not much to say about it that I haven't said for the previous collection!

I love Maggie Nelson’s work and read her books from most recent to oldest. This book demonstrates all the potential she shows much later on in her life, but it doesn’t quite have the brilliance of Bluets. Still, there are a few shining poems in this collection.
