A review by evavroslin
Burials by Jessica Drake-Thomas

5.0

Jessica Drake-Thomas is the newest entry to join the pantheon of dark poetry goddesses alongside Stephanie M. Wytovich, Christina Sng, Linda Addison, Sara Tantlinger, and many others.

Her poems seep under the skin and burst in a panoply of emotion that touches scars. I cannot possibly hope to do justice to describing why this is such an essential poetry book for all dark poetry lovers to devour if they haven't already. It is a stunning book. The poems are visceral and cut deep. Clash Books, which has been putting out fantastic releases for the past several years, really topped an exceptional level of excellence with this year's selection, including this book. I hope to see much more from this wickedly talented author.
