This poetry book was stunning. I loved every single word. Certain poems I find myself going back to again and again because of how deeply I felt them and related to them.

Very appreciative to have received an E-ARC from Button Poetry through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Immediately after finishing this, I went online to watch Andrea Gibson performing their poems live. My god, they are such a talented poet!! The wordplay is immaculate. A lot of these poems discuss hard topics, but it’s done brilliantly. Gibson knows just when to throw humor into their pieces, when to cut things short, and when to run with their point. With discussions on climate change, space, politics, transness, queerness, chronic illness, and being a rape survivor, this collection is unbelievably moving and deeply personal.
