I listened to the audiobook and had to pull my dang car over while listening to one of the poems because it nearly knocked the wind out of my lungs and choked me up. It was the one that says something like, "my mother says there are locked rooms inside all women and some men come with keys and some men come with hammers." POETS, MAN.

A sad and traumatizing collection of poems centered around the suffering of women (mainly, at the hands of men).
It invokes so much sadness, it makes me feel sorry for the trials and tribulations of Women and Refugees.
