the writing was everything: textured, corporeal, cloying, silvered, golden, worshipping, etc etc etc. I feel like it’s no coincidence that the first poem I’ve felt the urged to write in a long time (half-sleep/awake at 2am) was because I’d been reading this for the past day and a half.

a book that made me realize that sometimes I really just need some good ass magical realism in my life. the world building was a trusting process; us readers having to trust Leone and Leone in turn trusting us. through that trust, wishing the best for popisho and all of its residents
