gabriella_'s review against another edition

dark emotional reflective medium-paced

3.25

I think the poetry was well-written but some of the topic matter wasn’t really for me. I went in thinking this was more of a series of poems tying into family struggles and grief but I found a lot of it lewd and about other things. That’s fine but just not what I expected.

I wish I read this after On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous instead

Vuong plays around with different styles and formats. This book deals with many difficult topics, but is a solid poetry book. I can see why other people like it so much.
