Slaughterhouse by Yves Olade
4.0
"open the caverns of my heart and see: every chamber has a bullet inside it"
Another beautiful collection from Yves Olade! The use of imagery has matured since Olade's previous collection 'Bloodsport', becoming much more complex and entrancing. The scenes created within each poem seem to leap off the page as if they were waiting dormant, desperate to be read. The theming is strong and strikingly aesthetic. Aiding the worldbuilding within each poem and allowing a full story arc to be displayed despite the small word count. Overall a very lovely collection
Despite its strengths, this collection didn't connect with me as much as 'Bloodsport' did due to the more prose-like style. Nonetheless, it was still fascinating and I will definitely read from this author again in future.
