Such a good book. It's so beautifully written and flows so nicely. The descriptions are so vivid and beautiful, and it feels like you are part of the poems.

dark emotional inspiring tense medium-paced

4.0

this poetry compilation had phenomenally developed themes like queerness, erotica, lust and loss. I overall really enjoyed this read. my fav poem was either "saying your names" or "snow and dirty rain"

Richard Siken never fails to remind me how alone we all are and in turn how none of us have had an original experience. His writing is described as madness and I think he pulls it off on a way you may have to read over a few times, but feel like a better person for finally understanding. So so so good. 11/10 must read poetry
