hmatt's review against another edition
1.0
Most of these "poems" were cringeworthy, to me. Very few read as poems, at least via audio - they feel more like bits of memoir and I think I would have been more interested if some of them had been fleshed out as essays instead of needlessly stylized (e.g. the one about her dad as a truck driver). Many of the more political/social-justicey ones just read like out-of-context buzzwordy instagram captions strung together, and I really was not compelled to believe their genuineness.

but it was nicely done and actually easy to understand poetry.
i enjoyed the audiobook and that the author herself read it so that it was in all senses her own voice and story.
i recommend it if your interested or want to try poetry out.
