Escaping the Body by Chloe N. Clark
2.0
ARC provided by NetGalley in exchange for honest review.
I feel like I'm being generous with a two star rating here, which I'm giving because I know how subjective poetry is.
But I ended up tapping out of this book around 70 percent because I just was not finding anything to enjoy. There was not a single poem or even line that stood out to me, that made me pause, that caused my heart to squeeze or flutter. I felt nothing reading this collection. Nothing about it really even felt poetic, more like musings of the author, as if I dipped into her stream of consciousness.
The best I can say is if you hate Siken's works for being overly flowery, metaphorical, and confusing, you may like this collection of poems instead.
