Some poems I liked, most poems I couldn't get into. That's a shame

Liked this a lot! Not much to say about it that I haven't said for the previous collection!

I love Maggie Nelson’s work and read her books from most recent to oldest. This book demonstrates all the potential she shows much later on in her life, but it doesn’t quite have the brilliance of Bluets. Still, there are a few shining poems in this collection.
