great poetry, with good messages, and I love the Newfoundland influence on phrasing
it was a little long for me.

I don't normally go for poetry, but a beautiful friend sent me this for Christmas, and I loved it. It is timely and so refreshing to see some of my own thoughts and feelings put down in such beautiful words.

Satched: The state of being soaked through to the skin or caught in a heavy downpour.
This hauntingly beautiful poetry collection explores capitalism, climate change, and grief in a raw and unabashed way. Stunning! If you're not feeling it at first, give it some time, this collection gets better with every page.

This collection was challenging to pick up and hard to put down, depending on the day. When I picked it up to read another poem today, I flew through the remaining third of the collection. God, what an honesty.

It's not often that I devour poetry with the same enthusiasm I would a novel, but this book, okay... I couldn't put it down. I felt so seen. The friends I shared these poems with felt so seen. I want to hug this book. It's angry and beautiful and unafraid to be afraid.

3.5 stars. Initially I liked this a lot, but then I lost interest in the middle before hitting a few really good poems again at the end.
