Dearly by Margaret Atwood

4.0

Poetry is difficult to review. Saying that this collection is filled with poems dealing with loss, death, climate change and misogyny really does not give it justice.
This is a very accessible poetry, which is not a bad thing. What made Atwood’s poems stand out for me and also what made them such a pleasure to read was the skillful use of alliteration, repetition and wordplay, combined with frequent slant rhymes. And aliens. She really got my attention when she mentioned aliens.
