This would have worked better in short story or vignette type prose instead of poetry. The subject matter is still pretty relatable though.

I really liked this book it's a poetry collection chronicling the main characters break-up and her journey through dating women. I loved the reflection and the thoughts and how she wrote of herself and relationships as flawed on both sides.

- 1.1 (“Mostly I can’t see myself at all / until I sense in someone else a parallel, // like how I only realize what / I want at the moment I attain it, // my mind the final part if me to know.”)
- the sequence of 3.1 (“His love had been the organizing system // of my life. I’d known it since nineteen.”) to 3.2 (“And when I held her cheek // against my cheek, I was drawing from the well / of love he filled.”)
- 3.5 (“Still, my private devil craved / their suffering, which would have made // my own more real, more sensible.”)
- 3.10 (“Sexuality is, // after all, a formal concern: / finding one’s time on earth // a shape that feels more native than imposed”)

This was just amazing. It's so hard to write in rhymes, let alone couplets, and yet this book feels so fresh and invigorating. I could truly feel every emotion the author was processing in each piece
