A review by zarvindale
Else It Was Purely Girls by Angelo V. Suárez

4.0

Angelo Suarez certainly likes to demonstrate his lust, wit, and knowledge in poetry. In this second collection, published when he was 20 and still studying, each section strictly caters to a specific subject: the first for his lover, the second for writing, the third for politics and humor. The third amused me the most, the second befuddled me, the first terrified me, a queer acespec reader, with its cishet narrative. I can argue that the book is simply a fair match with the one that precedes it. Suarez knows how to twist language to whatever shape he wants it to look, and I can do nothing but be still as a writer showcases his talent.
