Derivative Faith by Jollin Tan

4.0

this struck unexpectedly close to home in touching on issues of loss, faith and eating disorders. the arrangement of poems was especially apt, with a light, coaxing voice linking the 'heavier' poems together. Tan doesn't just document grief, malaise and much else in between, she strings a thin line of hopefulness through her poems gently enough to deal with hard-hitting issues as these with an optimism that feels both organic and necessary. this has become one of my personal favorites for sure.
