The explanatory essays kept breaking the flow for me. I thought about just skipping them and reading the poems, but I kept forgetting, and now the library book is due lol

The essays in this anthology read so much like academic papers that I had to open up a separate document and highlight and take note — it was challenging in the sense that the style was very reminiscent of all-nighters beyond my control. Aside from that, it was an eye-opening read. Each poet had their own style that seamlessly flowed and complimented each other. While I cannot directly relate to their experiences, it had me reflecting on my own view of the world.
