For Your Own Good by Leah Horlick
4.0
I have read collections of poems before where their is a cohesive narrative and (seemingly) consistent speaker before. However, few have gripped me in the same way that "For Your Own Good" did.
This is another book I have felt mild shame about having not read before, but it was clear after finishing it that I was not ready until now. The word choice in this book is judicious and the result are poems where I felt I could visualize emotions as strongly as I could the imagery being described.
