A review by sisyphused
In the Pockets of Small Gods by Anis Mojgani
5.0
TW: full of yearning
i recommend this free verse poetry to all my fellow grief lovers out there.
if you aren't a fan of, but wanted to have a good start reading poetry, this collection is for you. you certainly won't come out of reading this unscathed!

It is possible to be wild and kind at the same time. It is possible to be both alone and be loved. I have known this to be true. In others. In me. To be loved. And to also still be alone.
- Sisyphus p. 7/9
no one teaches you what to do
when something that loves you still
goes away
and leaves you to learn how to find
something to love
that is larger than their absence
- Of those early mornings p. 3/3
So
maybe all I wish is the want. Yet
without the longing
- Perhaps p. 4/4
