If you like dreamlike poems that are more ethereal, this is for you! This collection is quirky.
It also totally threw me off. It felt completely different than Emily Berry’s previous works, which is probably a positive thing (something new for a poet - love and respect that).
I wish this book had started with a preface telling me more about what I was about to read (stylistically). I think I would’ve been able to appreciate it more had that been the case. Instead, I felt pretty lost in it and I’m still not quite sure what I read. This collection felt disjointed and random to me.
I am a big fan of Emily Berry’s poetry. This collection just wasn’t for me. Give it a shot though! Talented poet.
