Autopsy by Donte Collins

emotional reflective sad medium-paced

3.5

I think I wanted to like this book a lot more than I did. Don't get me wrong, Donte clearly knows what they are doing, the poems have great form & amazing imagery and emotional messages, but I just really struggled to connect with them personally. Until I got to 'five stages of grief', at which point I was hooked. Donte really knows how to use form, repetition, and even the singular letters that make up words to create amazing poems. It's a very high level skillwise, I'm only giving it this rating because 3/4 were a bit of a struggle for me to get through, personally.
