The Crying Book by Heather Christle
3.0
"Tears are a sign of powerlessness, a 'woman's weapon'. It has been a very long war."
I'm not sure that this little book can be considered a book of poetry exactly, more like little vignettes and snapshots that all centre around tears, crying, despair, weeping, sadness, happiness, and overall emotion. A good portion of this book really struck me to my core and I definitely see myself revisiting my annotations. Some of it went a bit over my head, I sometimes found myself reading pages without absorbing anything that was being said, but I think a lot of people can find inspiration from these pages that missed the mark for me.
