Submerge by K.Y. Robinson
1.0
I couldn't connect with the book Submerge. There were trigger warnings against sexual trauma, self harm, racism, and violence, mental illness. And the book is divided into immerse, drown and emerge.
I like only one or two poems. Most of the poems covered the same topic of lust and sexual intercourse. It was quite restricted to only one aspect, which I get might lead to other aspects of life but got monotonous after 75 pages and then the book was just a drag to read and finish.
There was no emphasis on self empowerment, there were only metaphorical descriptions of sexual intercourse. There were rarely any poems about racism or violence. Most of it was yearning and blaming.
I couldn't click with these poems, if the author dwelves into other aspects in their next book, I'd like to read it and perhaps find them interesting.
