A review by seventhswan
Unexhausted Time by Emily Berry

mysterious reflective medium-paced

3.5

I enjoyed this collection! It was different than I expected - I’d only read Bad New Government by Berry before, and although some of these poems had political aspects to them too, they felt a lot less explicitly about any one topic. For me, they brought to mind the summer between leaving school and moving away from home, particularly the first section, while the second section had a more surreal feeling reminiscent of a dream journal. I didn’t like the third section as much as the others - some of the figurative language was a little tired and the poems failed to make an impact on me personally - but I’d definitely like to revisit this book.
