taylorthiel's review
4.0
This is a 3.5 rounded up. And I believe I would have better received this collection had so many of the pieces not been covid oriented.
This collection pulls no punches. The highs were very high while the lows felt pretty low. I appreciated this authors eco-feminist approach to their imagery and the honest reckoning with the way human bodies (female bodies in particular) are host to myriad traumas. This collection grapples with how we deal with the things we have to hold, and the things we have forced this planet to hold.
A fascinating collection I will revisit in the future when I am more interested in reading contemporaneous poetry to our current political climate. I have a feeling this poems with age with grace and poignancy.
