2. A few gems here and there but hardly mediocre most of the time. Most of the gems are just things I related and were therefore partial to, but most weren't great.
3. Something about the tag at the bottom that names what was better left unamed really irks me.
4. Some of the more feminist leaning 'poems' remind me of things I would repost/retweet when I was 14 and there's nothing wrong with that I guess. Everything she's saying is right. I just find it a little corny now that I'm older. We don't need the word play or metaphoric insults; we can talk about injustice upfront. Therefore, I just don't they have much place here...it sounds like an Instagram caption and it cheapens the cause imo.
5. It is quite similar in theme and style to one of her previous collections, that I read and enjoyed marginally more, Milk & Honey. This one is not as good and very repetitive.
6. I did like the separation of mind and body and it being a running theme in the first chapter. However, the mention of that distinction and how it affects people doesn't really come up after that which is disappointing...
