All the poems were good and some took my breath away.
Marsh has a real skill with imagery and I loved the way she tackled various subjects in her poems. Her poetry focuses on the intersections of being Black in America, womanhood, and queerness, and I appreciated the vulnerable glimpse into her life and thoughts throughout the collection.
Definitely recommend this collection!
