Wow, these poems hit hard. I really found myself drawn to the longer pieces. Some of the short (4 lines or less) ones had Rupi Kaur vibes, which isn't my thing because it feels more platitudinous, but the rest were gorgeous and brutal.

imma let this one sit for a bit, but i’m pretty sure it’ll get upgraded to five stars later. simple, brutal, lovely. and a little queer, which makes it more of.. everything. wasn’t redundant like a lot of other poetry collections i’ve read. definitely the kind of thing you re-read multiple times. my faves from this first pass were artichokes, lipsing, inconvenience, & sabbath.

There are some lovely poems in here, like "Coordinates." Some poems were brutal and sad; some felt like fragments. Looking forward to her future writing.

I'm trying to extend my reading to poetry and this is one of the first collections I've picked up. Really powerful poems with a lot of themes that resonated with me around love, child/parent relationships, sexual assault, bodies, self hate and joy.
Some of the poems are simple, clever turns of phrase that make you stop and appreciate what the writer's done immediately after reading them which I personally enjoyed but might not be everyone's bag!
