I expected this collection to be good. And it blew that expectation outta the water. Fantastic poetry

Weird and wonderful. Lockwood does incredible things with images and verbs and nouns (I know, that's language) and in between all of the absurd finds ways to shock you into slack-jawed awe or disgust or something else strong.

patricia lockwood is weird girl representation <3

anyway i enjoyed this a lot but not quite as much as her fiction. her wit is just as incandescent as ever but i unfortunately suffer from an obnoxious need to feel like i Understand what i'm reading and too much of this went a little too far over my head, no matter how funny and incisive i found other parts of it to be!

I really thought I was going to like this! Sadly found that the titles were usually my favourite part. Liked "The Hatfields and McCoys"

It’s been a while since a book of poetry has hit me so hard but every single poem in here was incredible and I am Obsessed with ‘the father and mother of American tit-pics’.
