belbonnie's review against another edition
4.0
A lot of these poems were really heavy and the subject matter was sometimes hard to get through, but this collection is such a beautiful testament to healing. McCarriston's use of poetry as processing, as catharsis, is so impactful, and the choice to share her pain with her readers pulls you into a silent agreement with her. Never have I felt like an author is trusting me more.
I think my favourite poem was "Healing the Mare." I keep coming back to it, and reread it multiple times while I was going through the collection. I read a few of these poems each morning after waking up, and I'd be thinking about them for the rest of the day.
