5.0

Thanks to NetGalley I had the possibility to  read a digital copy of this book. And what can I say except. Wow. Like I loved it. Some poetry were really disturbing. But the all together was just great. And I discovered a lot of new authors and I want to read all of their work

"When you turn yourself
inside out like that
I don't know how
to hold you" ~Miriam H. Harrison, When You

Full transparency, even without my obvious bias, I would have still given this ALL THE ACHINGLY BEAUTIFUL STARS!

challenging dark reflective

3.5

Stunningly frightful, these poems do what the title says. With a dark beauty and truth, they explore the ways in which the body of women: queer and straight; the bodies of non binary individuals have been so abused and judged, but they also highlight the power in rebellion and the triumph of acceptance.
