War of the Foxes by Richard Siken

challenging reflective

4.25

art!!!! this made me feel a lot of big feelings and i don't know how to articulate any of them!! some of the poems i loved so much, and others went completely over my head, but the interconnectedness of them all made me pause and think and reflect, and i love when writing does that for me. maybe a generous rating, maybe a rating i'll lower when i read crush, which is supposedly transformative and much better than this. 

my favourites:
- the language of the birds
- still life with skulls and bacon
- portrait of fryderyk in shifting light (!!!!!!!!!!)
- the museum
- self-portrait against red wallpaper
