Did not resonate with me the way I expected it to, but I still acknowledge the pain and courage it takes for each person to write on their own experiences.

4.0
3.5 stars rounded up to 4. Jeanann Verlee is a powerhouse poet. She manages to be both vulnerable and formidable at the same time, and she remarkably skilled at creating intimacy in her collections. I liked the general theme of predator and prey, but- and this is completely a personal preference thing- I'm not a fan of poems that read like stories. I personally like a more freeform style, which I feel Verlee's first collection Racing Hummingbirds does exceptionally well, so the structured poems were not my favorite. They did, however, make me very interested in reading Verlee's crack at prose, if she ever chose to delve into that style of writing.
