littlefrenchie's review against another edition
5.0
There are not enough words to properly commend this collection. Wakefield has a way of clawing through skin, muscle, bone, and barrier to reach into the very center of you. While all of these poems will leave you raw and contemplative, masterpieces like "Giant Saint Everything," "Bedrooms and Battlescars," "We were Emergencies," and "Hurling Crowbirds at Mockingbars" will remain with you long after you've put the book down. I can not thank Buddy enough for producing this collection. It has compelled me to become a more devoted writer and human being. x

Pretend – inside your skin – you've got a friend
who's willing to give you everything you ever wanted
in exchange for all you've ever been.
Pretend you're more obsessed with this moment
and a little bit less with the way it ends.
i'm so enamoured with this collection and the magic with which it dropped into my lap, it feels so special. it was so hard to pick a pull quote because there are so many passages that jumped out at me with incredible energy.
