Margaret Atwood never fails to amaze me with her writing, and this is no exception. The pacing is as good as you can get for a poetry book, and every topic under the moon seems to be brought up at some point. Wonderful collection, wonderful conclusion, wonderful topics.
Moderate: Death, Death of parent, Dementia, Rape, Sexual assault, and Sexual content

I've read a little bit of Margaret Atwood's work before, but never really any of her poetry; I don't know why I was so surprised to like it so much. I read this for a book club and I found myself bookmarking nearly every other poem. She breaks this book into sections, and I definitely liked some of them more than others, but more than that I love the way they all fit (or don't fit) together. I'm glad I bought this book instead of getting it from the library, so that I can go back and read some of it again.
