Stuff I've Been Feeling Lately by Alicia Cook

5.0

Let me start by saying I read A LOT of poetry. And to be honest while I think most of it is good, it all starts to blend into a sea of flowery words after a while, but this collection really stood out to me, for a number of reasons. Cook's voice was so distinct throughout the entire collection, the poems were so simple, yet so profound. The addition of the blackout poetry of her own work is so unique and reflective, and I loved how she used references to music to enhance her poems. I cannot begin to describe my admiration for Alicia Cook's artistry and creativity. The most well-crafted and unique collected I have read in a long time - words that will stay with me for many many years, I am sure.
