there are some things i liked here, don’t get me wrong. i was really excited going into this poetry book because I am a lover of literature and it was recommended to me by a very pretty person who i like a lot however, i don’t think this poetry sits with me well. it gets redundant and i feel as though i’m having deja-vu every few poems which was frustrating because i wanted it to be over with as soon as possible. i think i can appreciate some of the word here, my favorite line of his is “i hope death contains less than this” that really struck me in ways i cannot yet explain or maybe i can and my mind just isn’t ready for it . I think i understand what she saw in this poetry book, however it wasn’t for me and that is okay.
