It's rare that a poetry collection is consistently impactful and touching throughout, but Rosehurst manages this with while the rest of the world dances. It's a powerful read, with relatable yet highly personal poems, and genuinely broke my heart in a few places. There's real conviction on each page, and I found myself unable to stop reading as I worked through what is a truly special collection that I will return to in the future, I'm sure.
