A lot of this stuck with me, I've highlighted so much in this little book. Read it one evening
Okay, whatever else this may be , stop calling these poems. I can also write a half sentence in one line and the other half in another, starting another sentence halfway and call it a poem if I want to. There is no rhyme, yes , poems don't have to rhyme but poems need to follow some ground rules. This is neither a sonnet, not a haiku, not a ballad. At one point, the author just wrote a paragraph and am I still supposed to read it as a poem? Like I don't care if this is a book of 20 word stories, short stories or poetic proses but trust me there's nothing poetic about this book. And though I suck at articulation, I can confidently say my review is more comprehensive than that book was. And before someone comes at me, I actually write poems and I and many others put real effort in making it work.

Every word, every space, and every pause so tightly packed with meaning. Nothing extra or wasted or missing. Feels so so big.
