Nothing Is Okay by Rachel Wiley
5.0
I'm not sure how this is my first time reading Rachel Wiley's work, but at least I've finally found it.
New poet obsession. This woman.
So many poems in this collection feel like she could have plucked the inspiration from my own life. It's so strange the similarities. I read this cover to cover in one sitting, made notes, and I will read it again and again. Wiley's words are constructed with so much passion and tragedy, but so incredibly real it's almost overwhelming at times.
Favorites::
Letter To My Cat - b/c too true and Andrea Gibson.
The Opposite of Up- particularly: "hey sugar, where ya goin'? I hate to see you leave but I love watching you walk into traffic."
How To Eat Ypir Feelings: Loneliness
