catnorby's review against another edition
4.5
Absolutely incredible I want to read it again because I feel like so much of it went over my head.
But the way it’s written is so dark and haunting in the most beautiful way; the need for something to worship and the horrors of knowing love.

One of these alone is fine but all together man they really start to run together

Every time Brimhall writes one good line she follows it up with twelve lines of obtuse nonsense. She's working in traditions of post-Christian religious confusion but also in confusion about female trauma in the philosophical space, so if that appeals to you then you might like it more than I did. I feel like this was written to work through some of her own issues which, you know, respect, but I don't know why the reader is along for the ride.

4.5 Dark and dystopian with piercingly profound turns of phrase. A poetry collection I stumbled across at a used bookstore years ago, and only just got to now. I had plans to go out this afternoon, but after reading the first poem, I crawled back into bed and read the whole thing in one go.

This is such a unique and immersive book that I found myself trying to memorise some of the best lines, trying to keep a place in my mind for them. What a fresh take on the heaviness of myth. Through my reading I felt a sense of wading through this apocalyptic wasteland with a small tinge of hope in my mouth.
