a piece of literature so fluid that it left me with contradicting opinions.
as with most poetry, there were stand out lines so incredibly written i wanted to cry and rate this 5 stars. for this collection, i found the most enjoyment in the first section which, in my opinion, was the best written section.
however, as the collection progressed, the unruly ‘train of thought’ style began to wear on me. it no longer held itself together. the poems became as disjointed as the structure and lost a lot of meaning (and thus enjoyment) from the first section’s formatted chaos.
all in all i enjoyed it. the lines were often beautifully written and i did mostly enjoy the structure. although occasionally the loose formatting contributed to a looser, less meaningful experience.
