Sweet, Young, & Worried by Blythe Baird

a quick read. i thought this was nice, but i don't really have any deeper feelings on it? there wasn't anything overly "special" or "meaningful" about the writing. maybe i would have liked it more if i was still 15. having the author's birth chart at the end was a neat touch though!
the poems would honestly have been better if the spacing wasn't so spread apart. part of the joy of poetry, imo, is rereading a paragraph numerous times and finding new meaning in the words, but the spacing kills that by making you focus on each individual word; it becomes harder to focus on the meaning of the whole.
