For Want of Water and Other Poems by Sasha Pimentel

4.0

Pimentel's poems are searingly evocative, emotive, bleak, dark, and packed to the brim with violence and heartbreak. There is a sensual feel to the whole, too; she weaves together so many themes and emotions in rather a masterful way. For Want of Water almost bubbles over with its grief, and is immensely powerful in consequence.
