Dense autobiography that rejects the form of autobio. Too beautiful to read awake.
Wonderful choice of words, high musicality and great use of poetry. The format though is beyond my understanding and the “storytelling” unnervingly cryptic. Oh well, à chacun son goût!
I'm sorry, but when I wasn't confused I was a little bored. I liked her last 8 sections best, written 8 years after the original work, which contained a little more narrative.
So I don't know how I read the addendum to this book without reading the actual book? #badreadinghabits2016 Anyway this poet was my professor this semester and this book was recommended to me by one of her grad students, and I'm so glad I picked it up during finals week. If you ever need short, pithy yet lyrical passages that border on narrative but pull back at the edge, please start here. Parts of this were so wonderful and weirdly relatable that I still think about certain phrases even days later, which doesn't normally happen to me when I read something quickly.
