Hard to rate such a diverse collection, but frankly the included copy of Sasha Pearl’s poetry collection makes 5 stars a no brainer. McSweeney’s always curates a great selection of short fiction, but as a woman who has spent her fair share of time on a school bus, those poems really hit me. Made me want to write more poetry.
