i enjoyed the overarching themes and motifs in this collection and i very much appreciated the essay at the end. any poem that references nature ESPECIALLY if it’s aquatic just pierces right into my soul. i didn’t find myself really connecting to the other poems though

I struggled with these poems, I'm going to have to try this book again and see if it works after a reread.

I liked some of these, but the collection was a bit hit or miss for me? I felt like I wasn't quite smart enough to get these, and for me, anyway, poetry is so much more about how words make you feel than what they make you think. But ymmv.

“with or without a charm
a little girl can fashion a mirror of her own” (70)
This collection is a fascinating meditation on the seemingly innocuous detritus of our lives. Some curios we swallow like children and others we place on pedestals. Sometimes an object gets lodged in our brains forever and sometimes we realize we’ve blocked out an object that had more meaning than we knew at the time.
Definitely an interesting read~

captured perfectly the hollow, nostalgic melancholy of returning to a home you don’t belong to anymore
