Honestly? Pretty forgettable on all levels: form, content, language. The experiences articulated literally did not feel specific or interesting and the metaphorical and political links seemed like broad and vague reaches. A few good lines (And if a god said this, remember: I am using my own / mouth to say what he has said, "Echo Before the Echo") but on balance I was quite disappointed. This is what I get for picking a book at random off the The New York Times Best Poetry Books of 2019 list.

I loved the poems on her relationship with her family politically.
I hate to rate the authors life experiences, but these poems and collection didn’t feel particularly unique, moving or cohesive. I do think they had important things to say.

I really enjoyed this book. It was like a breath of fresh air in a world of very depressing poetry. I think I’ll definitely be returning to it!
