This of course suffers from the same pitfalls as other modern-day twitter-Esque poetry does. I enjoyed and appreciated the added artistic elements which made it feel more substantial than other poetry in this category.
i don't really want to review this because it was so personal for me that it feels weird to review. but attempting to put the personal part aside, i really thought this is written and presented in a format that is very powerful and accessible. it felt like i was reading someone's art journal, but also in a way that had beats and progressed essentially a “story” through the poetry collection. anyway i loved it, i want to buy the physical format asap.
Reading this felt like someone methodically cutting me away from my body (affectionate)!!!!!! This made me feel emotions that I STILL can't process, and I technically finished this last night!!!!!! HIGHLY recommend!!!!!!
‘If you were only meant to be beautiful, we wouldn't have put you down here in the dirt.' I loved every second of this.
