Beautiful and infuriating. Every poem made me emotional. The balance of hope and hopelessness that Kate has created through sharing abusive messages and the poems she created out of them will stick with me for a long time.

Im just not the biggest fan of blackout poetry. The author does a great job of being inspired but i dont think it was as inspiring as she meant it to be. The messaging in some poems just felt lackluster

This is a great book of erasure poetry in which the author offers up first a message attacking her, and then her erasure of much of the messages' language, revealing new texts. This is a good introduction to erasure poetry, which has been on the upswing in recent years and is becoming more noticeable in poetry.. Baer's erasures are strong and sure, and creative and thoughtful.

I really liked this book, it made me think about how we use words and inspires me to try my hand at poetry too.
