So smart and sexy. I love a book that experiments with structure and really appreciated Millner's use of couplets as both a form and a theme.
And when I was not unbelievably sad,
I was moved unbelievably
to hold inside me both my lovers
and to introduce them to each other
there, in the hollow just above the heart,
among the little folds where the voice starts.

i think i’m incapable of reading novels in verse at the correct pace
Sexy, fun, hot, crazy poems to give you courage to go kiss some women and live your life like you really want. I feel like I need to reread this when I’m 30 or when I’m brave enough to leave all behind and live. Who knows, maybe in some years right now me will be transformed and it will be future me writing poems about love, life and everything in between.
“And you will lose again. And no matter what you do you can’t not want. Dip your foot in if you like. Why not. No one is looking.”

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of “Couplets” in exchange for an honest review. I appreciated the references and explanations in the notes section. I enjoyed the second person perspective and thought it was well-used. I enjoyed how the collection flowed and that there was essentially a plot to follow rather than tropes or themes.
