A review by bookedeverynight
Put me Down, I'm Terrible. by Katie Lewington
2.0
My Rating: 2 stars
I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.
While this poetry collection is not for me, it was an interesting and unique collection of poems that explores a range of emotions and thoughts from the author.
The Good: Some of the poems were really relatable and well written. I enjoyed the poem called Monday, Skills and CG as I found them interesting, and relevant. They were the more well-written ones and I appreciated the poetry of them. The author uses very artistic thoughts and turns of phrase to express her thoughts. It is incredibly individual and the collection will keep you thinking long after.
The Bad: Some of the poems just read as thoughts, thoughts that have poured out of someone’s brain with no filter. Some of them are also needlessly erotic and odd but that is simply my opinion and how I responded to the poems. I felt as though they were very personal and too personal to read as they made me uncomfortable.
Recommended for: Contemporary poetry lovers
Quotes (Spoiler Free):
“how did I get to thinking so much
and relaxing so little.”
“Monday
it comes creeping out of the shadows
from the following
Monday
Monday, Monday, Monday.”
