lifeinpoetry's review against another edition
Meatheart is the chapbook I've not read though I do think it's somewhere on my bookshelves. Otherwise, I mostly skimmed this.
Still love this excerpt from "Waterfall": "The most romantic thing a human being can say / to another human being is Let me help you vomit." Vaguely reminds me of that poem from another poet with the line about how holding a friend's hair back as they vomit being a way of showing care/love.

Just not for me. Perfectly good poetry.

can’t review because I love ms broders other works too much to ignorantly cast a low rating over my own inability to understand her poetic depth!

I am not exaggerating when I say I understood 2% of this book of poetry and therefore have no idea how to rate it....................

Melissa Broder never fails to make me feel achingly uncomfortable and oddly sexy at the same time? The poems in Superdoom, her latest release, actually aren’t new at all but come before her precious works (So Sad Today, The Pisces, Milk Fed). It was interesting to see her writing at its beginning and note how she has grown stronger as a writer over time, evolving into her own signature style and voice. One that is weird and semi trance like. Thank you, @tin_house, for sending me a copy of Superdoom! ✨
