My Darling from the Lions by Rachel Long
3.0
I picked the audiobook from this from my library as I've wanted to read more poetry in 2023 and I kept seeing this one around. I like audiobooks for poetry as I think sometimes it can be best to hear it aloud.
I loved the authors use of language in this collection. They had a powerful way of moving through phrase that carried me along. I think it explored interesting concepts and I would want to get this physically to read it in more indepth detail.
My issue was this felt too brief. There was so much ground that could have been covered with this theme - even 20/40 pages more would have helped. I felt left wanting a bit by the time it got to the end.
I would definitely look for further works by this poet.
