A fantastic, gripping, superbly crafted collection. I recommend it wholeheartedly. This is basically everything I like poetry to be: visceral yet erudite, cohesive across the collection, and leaves an impression. And I'm always a fan of poets who use repetition in subtle yet impactful ways. There's a fair bit of formal variety in Elhillo's poems as well. I checked this out from the library but definitely want to purchase my open copy for rereading.
