Lyrik? Und ich? Sind immer schon beste Feinde gewesen, in der Schule war es die Hölle für mich. Bis ich dann Ocean Vuongs [b:Nachthimmel mit Austrittswunden|51477694|Nachthimmel mit Austrittswunden|Ocean Vuong|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1582122518l/51477694._SX50_.jpg|43452251] gelesen habe und ich gesehen habe, dass es auch anders geht. In lyrischer Form erzählt die Autorin Geschichten über Kindheit, Familie, Gewalt, Sexualität und Religion. Wie es so mit Gedichten einhergeht, hat mich vieles angesprochen, anderes wiederum nicht. Auch die Länge der Gedichte sind sehr launen- und sprunghaft: eines war über 10 Seiten lang, ein anderes war nur einen Satz lang. Man hat es ziemlich schnell durch und alles in allem habe ich es gemocht, auch wenn Ocean Vuong mit besser gefallen hat.

Almost every poem made me feel so deeply and want to cry profusely. I haven't had something resonate like this in a long time.

Honest, brutal, mysterious. I’m still wrapping my head around it, but I’m sure I’ll give it another read.

A lovely debut collection of prose and poetry. Enjoyed reading. A mature collection of writings. Felt connected even though experiences vary. Highly recommended.

Wow. Wow. Wow.

Reading this after listening to the testimony by Christine Blasey Ford all day was both heart-wrenching and heart-mending.
