Most of the poetry wasn't actually explicitly speculative, but it was heartfelt, so I'm not mad about it, it just made me go "Hmm" when I realised that.
Also, just wanted to let you know that I read part of this book on Valentine's Day out of spite lol.
Also also, I'm honoured to be internet friends with Laya who did the cover art for this book. Beautiful work as always.Â
Graphic: Animal cruelty, Animal death, Blood, Child death, Confinement, Cursing, Death, Death of parent, Emotional abuse, Grief, Mental illness, Murder, Sexual content, Terminal illness, Toxic relationship, Violence, and Vomit
Moderate: Ableism, Acephobia/Arophobia, Alcoholism, Physical abuse, Sexual violence, and Torture
Minor: Addiction, Drug use, and Panic attacks/disorders
There are content warnings for the individual stories at the beginning of the book, but I think "Fishing Over The Bones of the Dragon" should have more. It lists "Death imagery, alcohol" but I'd also add torture and sexual abuse. It's the darkest story out of the bunch and should have had more warnings imo.
