Part 1: no thoughts, just vibes (+ 1 canal)
Part 2: T'is a plot
Part 3: the vibes are strong with this one

I didn't like the kind of poetry though, I was missing a rhythm or maybe I just didn't get it, who knows...

I really enjoy Maggie Nelson's prose writing so I expected to like this too, but most of the poems weren't for me. The first section was the best - though still hasn't stuck with me - and after that it all felt a bit repetitive and like it wasn't saying a lot.
