i think kaur is a wonderful poet, i think her experiences and the way she writes about them really give power to the words she writes, but lord. some of these poems just weren't it. they felt like statements, rehashed slogans and phrases i've heard over and over again with no unique take. poetry doesn't to be unique, and poetry can certainly look like this, but i suppose it wasn't really for me.
there were gems in what i considered most of this to be rather uninspired writing wise, though, some poems that i liked, but the numbers are small and quickly dwindled in frequency as the book carried on.
