A review by heteroglossia
The Woman Who Turned Into A Vending Machine by Natalie Wang

Filled with poetry revolving around the subject of womanhood. The theme of female dissatisfaction was especially prominent: in love, the disappointment of wanting to love the emotionally unavailable or immature; in the undervalued work of caregiving and emotional labour. There is some engagement with asian & southeast asian myths & magical realism. I do think the poems got uneven at times but the arrangement aids in the flow quite significantly. Think it would have benefitted from more editing to make it tighter.
