I didn’t love that part III was really the only happy part but it revolved around a man. It made healing feel like an attachment or another person, as opposed to something that can happen individually within yourself.

I did ding a few points off because I hate it when there is just one sentence on a page. I feel like those would be better off in a separate section titled something like "Affirmations" or "Reminders."

I liked that it started with a trigger warning for everything mentioned throughout the book. It's something that should be adopted for all literature, but especially poetry. Unfortunately, it was all down from there.
Poetry is more than just short, punchy sentences, spaced out to "look" like poetry. Everything in this collection felt, unfinished, cliche, and lacked lyricism. The content is strong but the writing renders it free of any real impact and strips it of genuine emotion. This feels like the devastating aftershock of insta-poetry.
Out of everything, I liked only one line, on page 86. I won't even call it a poem, but it was a strong descriptive sentence that I liked.
