challenging dark emotional hopeful reflective sad tense medium-paced

4.0

A strange mix of the most tragic and heartbreaking poems which gave me a sense that there's something after every apocalypse. Exhaustive list of content warnings somehow non-exhaustive still.

this poetry collection is amazing. Incredibly sad at points, but the use of sunsets and nature as something tragic, disturbing, and overbearing really is incredibly powerful and moving. I really enjoyed this book. 💝
