Beautiful and intricate. I listened to the audiobook at the same time as I read the book in print which really added to the experience—the author rewards beautifully.

I’m a fan of Warsan Shire and generally love her poems but I found the poems redundant. Some of them have appeared in other forms in her previous work. While I enjoyed her new collection, it felt too similar to her previous work and I was expecting newer poems/perspectives.

Minor: Eating disorder, Suicide, and Violence
