I’m not going to sit here and claim to know anything about structure and prose, because I know fuck all about structure and prose.

What I will say, is that I have never been so lulled and hypnotised by words in my life. A visitor came by half way through reading this, and I came up with the most tedious small talk I could conjure in an attempt to get him to go so I could continue (it didn’t work so I resorted to awkward silences and he was soon gone 😈).

This collection of poetry covers themes of Greek mythology, sexuality, gender, feminism, technology, hypocrisy, war, prophecy, and the influence media and technology has on us and is well worth picking up.

Just pls do it ok.

this is the best collection of poetry i have ever read. it is both transcendent and grounded, both subtle and raw, it screams and it whispers. it is genius.
