Take a self-appreciation holiday. Build a fortress
around your best self. When you hear your worst
selves yelling from the ornamental moat of your
self-esteem, ghost them. No to selves that nibble
away like mice in the circuitry of your dreams! No
to selves that regurgitate Issues like it will nourish
you to eat them! Sabotage is often disguised.
Lots of the poems in this collection left me cold, but there were a few that were full of gorgeous evocative imagery, and I'll be thinking about them for a while. My favourites were Haunted, Small pebbles, She lacks confidence... (from which the quote above comes), Delphine is having a mani-pedi, and The garden.
