The Solace: This was so beautiful. The collection of poems had great connecting themes that made this feel whole. I loved all the odd lines creating new imagery in my brain, and so many made me feel in all caps. There were moments of laughter, pain, familiarity, "hell yeah," and openness.
The Dread: There were moments when I, too, felt "stupid, and [it was] hard to sleep knowing so little about everything." Some just were too high for me to grasp or connect with. But poetry is like a painting of the ocean - you're meant to get the idea or even your own feelings, not all the nuances of the actual ocean.
Overall, this was both dreamy and visceral - it will sit with me for a while.
