Martian Florist: Poetry 2023 by Cliff Sowers
Did not finish book.
1.0
There was a cop in my small town where I had my first job who used to come sit in my store late at night and talk to me (age 15 at the time) about all the teenage girls he's slept with because of his badge and other things he could "get away with". This entire book of "poetry" made me think of that person.
Its exactly the kind of thing he would've written if he was smart enough to hold pen to paper. I did agree with the trigger warning in the beginning. If you need triggers stay home and don't read anything but self help books please but aside from that I thought this read like an autobiography of a really sad incel, who I'd be scared to leave a child around. Its not "controversial" its just cringe.
