This is the intimacy I had wanted, was it perfect? no. Some poems had a strange order and some others had a very modern way of writing, but I loved it, it got me thinking a lot. so yeah, I preferred this one

This is the earliest work I've read by Nikita Gill and it definitely shows how much she has grown as a poet. It was a lovely bundle, though.

“I’ve made books my lovers, hours my enemies and you the only story.”
Not bad for the very first poetry I have read with a different look on the literature. At times it was plain and didn't touch me at all. Still, there were a few quotes that were very annotate-worthy.
“—when the boy she loved and knew to be less than perfect, became perfect by losing himself to her forever.”

Nikita Gill es una poeta que realmente adoro, y no sé cómo es que no conocía este poemario suyo. ¡Qué bueno que encontré este libro! Your Body is an Ocean podría (o no) ser llamado un poemario, pero yo prefiero clasificarlo como una expresión artística amorfa que suena como poesía. No sé, este libro es algo sumamente peculiar, y sin duda posee una estructura que deja dudas en la mente de quien lee. El trabajo de Gill en esta entrega me pareció sumamente hermoso, y es algo que llevo conmigo y me endulza el alma saber que lo he leído. ¡Qué belleza!

This was god awful. I love Gill’s later works so this was a huge disappointment. This isn’t poetry so much as “tumblr poetry” where you put a bunch of words together and hope for the best. The concepts were there but they didn’t tie together.
Some “poems” made my physically cringe at how absurd they sounded. Only reason I finished was because I skimmed some and it’s a short collection. If you’re a Gill fan like me, skip this one and pretend it doesn’t exist.

I expected much more and am sorta disappointed. Maybe her next books will be more satisfying.
