Love Beth May’s work.
Her poetry is gorgeous and catches my attention and holds it more than most poetry i’ve read. She has an excellent mix of crude relatability and devastating vulnerability throughout and it somehow keeps catching me off guard in either direction every time.

Poetry is simply not my forte. I find it hard to focus on and understand what the author is saying. However, this mixed media style stuck out to me and held my attention quite well. A few poems from the collection really hit me!

I know Beth May as a hilarious podcaster, but while reading this book I saw a completely different side to her. It was so interesting to hear May in a different forum, sharing thoughts that do not necessarily need to be funny but interweaving her humor as she pleases. Her poems were poignant, impactful, heartfelt, and diverse. I can't wait to read more from her.
