If I could tell my younger self anything
about this life: we do so much more
than just survive it.
If I were to convince anyone to read Clementine Von Radics' poetry (which I plan to do to multiple people) I'd scream the following poems at them until they fell in love with their writing
- "To the protester outside of the clinic
who called me a murderer" - "For Vincent van Gogh, Patron Saint
of Psychotic Manic Depressives" - "The Poet refuses to see what can be
plainly seen"
Content Warnings
Moderate: Misogyny and Abortion
Minor: Grief, Biphobia, and Suicidal thoughts

Some keen lines, but a lot of this felt very surface-level to me—many of the poems seemed to circle the same topics without revealing new facets or approaches

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
“No one else can decide,
What your tough looks like”
This book is gorgeous from the cover to the words. The poems are deeply relatable for me and made me feel a lot of capital F Feelings. The mark of a great poetry collection for me is if they make me cry and this one had me there. I highly recommend you check this collection out and I can’t wait to break into more of von Radics works.

lacking a bit in real poetic metaphor, not given me much to chew on. nice sentiments about life at the end.
