The Girl Aquarium is a beautiful collection of poetry that uses the aesthetic of twisted fairy tales and circuses within beautifully constructed poems (I love the forms she chooses to write within) to express darker emotions and pain. As a disabled woman, I really identified with a lot of the poems with a focus on the body. I would definitely recommend this one.

A lot of the imagery felt forced and a lot of the lines fell flat for me. However, some of the passages were disturbing enough to make me feel something and I quite liked both "Hello, Dark" and "How to Weigh Nothing."

Este libro es una experiencia diferente para mí debido a que llevo un tiempo siguiendo a Jen en sus redes sociales. He visto muchos de sus vídeos, antiguos y nuevos y se ha convertido para mí en un referente en tantos sentidos que se me hace difícil creer que ahora tenga en mis manos algo que ha escrito ella.
Este poemario es precioso, habla de relaciones LGTB, de vivir con una discapacidad, del mar y de faros. De todo de lo que Jen habla de forma increíble. Con un hilo conductor de realismo mágico y una fuerza imparable, este es un viaje único. Lo releeré muchas veces, estoy segura.

Beautiful, whimsical collection that packs a punch and was everything I had hoped for.
