Could also be called The Depression Book or The Suicide Book or The Postpartum Book. I liked the short vignette style, it felt very ephemeral. Sometimes it's very interesting to read such naked thoughts from someone whose personality and emotions are opposite mine. We are all so different.

Graphic: Mass/school shootings, Pregnancy, Grief, and Suicide

Warn for the kent state shooting photograph on the 9th page. It's a well known photograph, but very sad to see still as it captured someone crying beside their peer. Just a friendly warning as i personally like to be told beforehand for such things.

"A real tear that you can taste, a moon that has nothing to do with crying. (The latter does not exist.)"

Is a quote I will 100% be thinking about forever

Poetry - and like all poetry, some parts resonated while others didn't. Some felt like a punch to the gut.

Me parece que es una buena idea ejecutada muy a prisa. Pudo haber sido mucho más exploratorio y profundo y Fermina siendo muy limitado y en ocasiones innecesariamente melodramático.

I don’t know why I thought this book would be more scientific when I found it in the poetry section at the library, but alas...
