I like heavy poetry, but I was not expecting to connect with poetry that felt this heavy. Much of this poetry was written during or about living during the pandemic. atrophy gives us a good look into what it was like to live during the pandemic as someone who is immunocompromised. This book of poetry also heavily discusses sexual trauma. So while this a book of poetry that really evokes tons of feelings, please check the trigger warnings before beginning it.
My biggest takeaway from works of poetry like this is I wish I was able to be this vulnerable. While I share emotions like this with a few loved ones, I could not imagine putting these emotions out there where anyone could see them.
