Not all the poems hit, but when they do, they hit HARD. The poems that I like most are, and why are coming soon when I have the brainpower to analyze why I like the poems so much.

I own several other editions of this anthology, and the 2023 version just didn’t move me like the others did. Out of the entire anthology, there were only 5 poems I felt might be worth going back to re-read.

5 stars for the three poems I read and liked, but only 2 stars overall since my taste did not align with the editor’s this issue. this is very sad for me and I will be looking for a previous issue that satisfies this.
