Structured like a good album. Side A collects merritt k's short hit singles, by turns witty and yearning, always deeply empathic. Side A is Niina Pollari's equally relatable and resonant modern epic "Golden Age." Between them they capture so much of what it feels like to live in this strange current moment and place, North America at the start of the 21st century and the collapse of everything: hyperconnected and lonely, relatively wealthy and precarious, full of self-knowledge but lost.

I can’t tell if I actually liked this more than other poetry I’ve read or if I just I understood it better? Should I feel bad that I only “get” poetry if it’s about shitty NYC apts and fanfiction and the cartoon fox version of Robin Hood? Idk, but many parts of this hit home. I especially liked the merritt k half, and I def want to read more by her.

The first part was a little disjointed and hard to follow, but I really enjoyed the second section. It flowed better and was an interesting juxtaposition of the dream and reality of the so called “golden age” we’re in.
