 A fabulous collection of poetry which I was able to enjoy in my preferred manner - reading in print while listening to the poet read her words to me. And what powerful words they were - looking at the dystopias that have been endured past, present and future but also the way humanity (even those groups that have suffered the most) somehow endure and carry on. Bleak in places but hopeful in others. As with all collections some hit me more than others but the ones that did, including those exploring the experiences of the “comfort women”, hit hard.
