I listened to this on audible and it seemed more powerful hearing the poems from Danez Smith, than it was reading it. Maybe because I could hear the emotion while listening to it

I always have a really hard time rating poetry collections but this one was fantastic.

I thought it was beautiful. Some poems just weren’t meant for me but that’s okay. I very much felt attached to this book as a gay man.

'every day is a funeral & a miracle' and 'not an elegy' — those poems back-to-back absolutely killed me. I gasped, but it was because I was holding my breath the entire time I was reading them. So good.
