vigil's review against another edition

challenging dark emotional hopeful reflective sad medium-paced

4.5

i don’t think it’s really possible to rate an entire poetry collection, more to rate each poem individually, but i’m probably not qualified to do that. i didn’t have a poem that i hated or disliked in here, just some i didn’t personally connect with.

my standouts are

telemachus
immigrant haibun 
aubade with burning city
thanksgiving 2006 
because it’s summer 
on earth we’re briefly gorgeous 
notebook fragments 
someday i’ll love ocean vuong
devotion
