adventurous emotional inspiring reflective tense fast-paced

5.0

I need a physical copy of this book! I am dying to annotate. It is so lyrical, eye opening, daring, daunting, and blunt in the best ways possible. It definitely touches on some serious subject matters, definitely look into trigger warnings but as far as it's structure and execution, top tier.

Amazing poetry. Felt it to my core. Didn’t hold back at all. Was stunned at some of the poems, how visually stunning they were.

challenging emotional reflective fast-paced

4.0

This was a grounded read. Beautifully written and emotionally impactful. It was not what I expected, though I honestly didn’t know what to expect when I picked it up. I think shorter non-fictions with a poetic flair are a very compelling medium to communicate some tougher topics to uninitiated readers.
