A review by wendalorian
Where the Worm Never Dies by Quinn Hernandez

3.0

This poetry collection was a range of hit and miss. Each poem describes to darker side of human nature, some quite unsettling.

The author did a great job in vividly describing how dark and depraved ones thoughts can be.

The ones that stood out were:
“Breaking the Cycle” - The way it dealt with generational trauma really spoke to me.
“The Power of Grief” -  A beautiful and haunting look at grief and death.
“True Crime” - Interesting and thought provoking.
“Hypocrite” - An honest and raw look at Christians and how they’re not very Christ-like.

The ones that felt really out of place were “Three Examples of Why Clowns Ain’t Funny”.

I give it 3 stars. Because overall these poems did make me think, although some are forgettable.

(I received an ARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.)
