Nobody Told Me: Poetry and Parenthood
by Hollie McNish
I read this by audiobook, which was absolutely fine best way to access this book so you can hear the rhythm and cadence of the narrative and especially the poems included.
However, I just thought this was too long..
Even though there's an element of repetition alluded to within Hollie's experience, the actual content of this book ended up actually being repetitive. If it had been a shorter work, I think it would have been more concentrated and impactful. Regardless, there were some quotable poems in here and at times reminded me of the style of Kae Tempest, which is always a good time and something I admire.
