The amount of full stops where commas should be didn't help my non-native English comprehension

There's some powerful stuff here but most of it gets lost in a sea of bad to mediocre writing, some of which I'm hesitant to call poetry. Some intriguing ideas are weighed down by the attempt to present them as poems, with quirky line breaks and punctuation. It's really too bad because I did really like some of the writing and themes, but my takeaway was that this could've used A LOT of editing.

The emotions were there but I think, the poems would have been better off without so many line breaks. It's not to say that the book wasn't worth it. I have loved books like this. But in the case of Salt, I felt something was missing. And I don't know what it was.

I really enjoyed this poetry collection. I personally liked the poems that talked about Africa and language.

Although I do not quite agree with the structure- this is poetry.
I know it because of how I feel.

I don't care for poetry. BUT this book is a collection of words that heal. Super fast read, but the poems just make you sit and think. This is def one of my top 5 reads of the year thus far. I will buy the paperback, just for keep-sake soon, it's worth it! I think its still free on Amazon - for Kindle users. I just wish the author was more open about her specific background and showed her face somewhere on the internet hahaa :)
