Life of the Party: Poems by Olivia Gatwood

sydapel's review

dark emotional fast-paced

Poetry is one of those genres I don't feel like should be rated, but this was super compelling and easy for a novice like me to reflect on. Gatwood does an excellent job of capturing the latent fear female presenting people constant have of men and their capacity for violence, as well as our culture's fascination with it through the true crime content. Also, I had no idea she was the poet of the "Ode to My Bitch Face", which is a favorite of mine.

dark emotional reflective

My favorite poems were the ones involving Jordan and the summer. I also liked the poems about Aileen. I don't quite like true crime and stories about dead girls, but this wasn't so bad. 

Also, poems that are written as though they are a stream of consciousness seem to be trying too hard to achieve that effortlessness.

started precise and loosened up near the end. the writing was great, beautiful, but the contents of the poems are not for the light hearted. absolutely horrible, made me sick to my stomach.
