wmmcmanlypants's review against another edition
4.0
Enjoyed this. Shorter than I thought. I couldn’t find whether or not it was a “sequence” necessarily, but it reads like a hellish version of Glück’s Wild Iris. These poems felt like polaroids that, while still developing, were pressed into each other and borrowed contents from others.
woodlandbooklover's review against another edition

It is a book you almost need to finish in one sitting. It's hard to have a narrative collection of poetry that develops characters and story because if one poem is taken out of context of the collection, they can be disorienting or ungrounded. The poems in this collection carry enough emotional energy and atmospheric currency though that even out of context, there is much to experience and been unsettled by. And of course, IN context, it is all so disquieting. Powerful collection.
