There was some beautiful imagery and word play, but it got to be too much after a while. This is a book that I would recommend reading a poem or two at a time because I became numb after a while to the poems' beauty.

“The young they suffer
For all eternity
Suffering
Is a green light”.

Loved this collection of poems for the most part but a few poems were super out there and absurd and didn’t quite work for me.

"No sex, just milk
is all we have to show for it
and if I am insane
And if I am
then let me be so
let this skewed vision of the world always be so
moon man
you will always be the nothing of the Fall
let it be
so let the others run rampant
let it be so
dark eyes
and if I am insane
let it be so"

I really enjoyed this collection! Lasky has a way with words that catches you. With nods to women, motherhood, life, sex creation of life, death, blood and birth. It was raw and blunt at times. I haven't read any of her other work but I am intrigued after this one.

I have read Dorothea Laskey before because she seems like she's writing the kind of poetry I should like, and the poems I've read have been OK. But this book stole my heart. I fucking loved this book. I didn't know I was walking into a world of miscarriage and medical institutions and bodily fluids--and that is pretty much my homeland--so this book was as surprising to me as it was needed.
