My Darling from the Lions by Rachel Long

4.0

---

It’s rare to be able to sit and read a book of poetry straight through from beginning to end. I can’t pretend to have fully understood everything but the way Long’s language and structure pulls you in and makes you feel, leaving just enough space to read it again and again... My Darling from the Lions is poetry done really well. The shapes and pictures tug and appear and have a life that is their own as you read.

Thanks to NetGalley for the advance copy in exchange for review.
