Escaping the Body by Chloe N. Clark
5.0
There is something very melancholic and magical about Escaping the Body by Chloe N. Clark that's stuck with me since I've read this poetry collection. Reminiscent of reading suburban fantasy novels that take emotions and turn them into something dreamy and sentient, Clark's poems articulate experiences and feelings in a compelling and extremely personal manner.
One of my favorite lines from this collection comes from the poem "You'd Be Home Now":
"how I would like to seduce / the infinite, use my tongue / to collapse galaxies in on themselves / over and over, let the stars find new / ways to make my body ache"
I am definitely going to get a physical copy to own and would love to read this writer's future work. Thank you so much to NetGalley and Chloe N. Clark for this eARC!
