Takes my breath away - while also giving me room to breathe. Insistence on the body - then turns it inside out. Will be reading his first collection and returning to this one often.

bedridden read #02!! discovered oliver's craft on a whim. while some poems i think left me a little empty-headed, others were immaculate. loved how solemn the collection is, tender and bathed in witchlight

This is my favorite poetry collection I've read this year. I'm incredibly bad at writing reviews but this was everything I needed to read right now. Poems like "Elegy" and "My Body the Haunted House" will definitely stick with me for awhile. Shout out to the person at Malvern Books who recommended this book to me, and to Poem-A-Day for first introducing me to the amazing work of Oliver Baez Bendorf!

The author is from kalamzoo (woo woo!).
"I thought I wanted to be everything all at once. Poet that sits on a bucket in the dunes and the bucket too."
I liked it. It's not super linear.
