Escaping the Body by Chloe N. Clark
4.0
“My skin holds mostly worry underneath it’s layers, so tightly coiled as to seem still, like those guarded rattlesnakes..”
This was my first read by author Chloe N. Clark, I was curious to see how this collection of poetry felt.
The way in which the body is depicted in these pages is quite unexpected. There is a variety of perspective were some are quite visceral and others very blatant in their message. A few of these felt disturbing, enlightening and moving.
The author succeeds in allowing the reader to interpret this poetry in a way which will either comfort or disturb them. I found many quotes which I was drawn to and repetitively read them.
Overall this collection includes some dark and uplifting poetry which I enjoyed experiencing and would recommend checking out.
