What a charming collection of relatability. I feel as thought Savannah Brown is simultaneously my long lost Twin and the best friend I never had.

This collection is a testament to the fact that accessibility doesn't have to mean undeveloped. While this book uses a style similar to the "instagram" style of Lang Leav, Lily Reinhart, and others, her poems display a real authenticity and great poetic potential, and I also really liked the art in the book.

"When I was little, I was told I had an excellent imagination - who ever would have guessed I'd use it in the creation of my own personal hell, where everything's my fault, and no matter how small I get I always take up too much space, while, at the same time, taking up no space, because have you ever thought about how big space is?"

I first read Graffiti years ago, when I noticed it on the bookshelf of a friend's roommate. "Oh, that," he had said, as if I hadn't just discovered words that would float around in my brain for the next five years like the bouncing DVD logo. That was the first edition, and now, reading the second edition, I can appreciate the preface and the fact that I have grown very much in those five years. 'No Angels' and 'A Poem for Ohio' will always be tucked nicely in my repertoire of poems I can recite on-the-spot, but I'm reminded of the lyric, 'all the music you loved at sixteen, you'll grow out of'.

Beautiful poems. Some I found awkwardly spaced on the pages and lost their pace but a lot of them were incredible and the pacing worked very well. I love the closing poem O. K. A. Y.
