Everything Reminds You of Something Else, Volume 240 by Elana Wolff
4.0
3.5 stars
While this is most definitely a beautiful piece of writing, I couldn't connect with every poem.
I really liked Thin Girl, Cord, Choir, and Walking Song. The title of the collection is fitting. Most of the poems were about mental health and love, together and separately. However, I felt Wolff was doing a bit of jumping from one thing to another in the middle of a sentence.
Like this:
"The stars that stayed remind me of this image of my inner breasts - watery digital constellations marked with ink-black holes the doctor called cysts."
Still, there is this sadness in all these poems that I couldn't comprehend. It just felt a bit superficial at times.
