A review by 2000s
Bone Confetti by Muriel Leung
3.5
Some of the most mind-boggling poetry I've read. I'm having trouble even describing what this was about besides grief and its manifestations. I was stumped with most of the poems just because the use of language is so complex and each word is unexpected. None of it sounds natural but I don't necessarily mean that in a bad way, just that her craft and vocabulary is next-level and everything is so layered that you really have to go line-by-line (at least I did).
I feel like I don't totally know enough about poetry for this one, but there were some really harrowing lines and I admired the puzzle of it. I definitely need to revisit it though because it's just so brainy.
