Swimming Lessons: Poems by Lili Reinhart

emotional reflective sad medium-paced

4.0

I don't read much poetry, but I was impressed by this. Some repetition in themes I suppose, but never in a way I found tiresome. Reinhart is frank and frequently evokes potent feelings in a few words. I confess I was perhaps most impressed by the way the book's design aids her writing. The red pages that act as section breaks and the minimalist drawings really worked for me. The whole book is evocative and lovely to spend time with. I'd read more certainly.
