I thought that the book has a lot of different stories, and it opened my mind more.

5.0
I first listened to the audiobook, but I fell asleep halfway through because that is unfortunately my nature with audiobooks at times (especially after lunch--mayhap I make bad decisions), and only woke up for the last two poems. So luckily the ebook was also available, which I checked out and read... and it hit me a lot harder and deeper. Ewing has the same emotional impact and force as Audre Lorde, I think, in typically short pieces. I especially loved the evocation of scenes as if they were lifted from a storybook, particularly those alluding to Exodus. She has a mighty use of language in those poems especially. Definitely interested in reading her other works. Sorry for falling asleep also... frankly her voice is engaging, I just listened to this at the wrong time as I said, so I do recommend the audiobook, because listening to poetry read by the author themself is always a treat and experience.
