A review by mikaylamarie
The Vault by Andrés Cerpa

dark emotional reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

I really don't know how to feel after just finishing this book. Cerpa's writing was full of anger, desperation, desolation, yearning, and desire. His lyricism, while requiring a bit to accumulate to, pulls at your heart strings. The journey portrayed through this book was simply hauntingly gorgeous, and I'm still reeling. I did read most of the poems out loud to better interpret them, and once I connected the main metaphors the second half of the book flew by. Amazing.
