Crush by Richard Siken
dark
emotional
sad
medium-paced
5.0
Crush was a dark whirlwind that had me in awe every time I finished a poem. There wasn't a single piece of this collection that I did not find utterly intriguing. His writing is the sort that will remain in the back of my mind forever, consuming my thoughts for days after I've put down the book. I have read Crush dozens of times and intend to read it a thousand times more.
Graphic: Death, Homophobia, and Suicidal thoughts
