This Way to the Sugar by Hieu Minh Nguyen
3.0
tw: childhood molestation
I really wanted to like this collection more than I did. Some poems landed for me but most didn't. A little too much body horror metaphor and other assorted metaphoric language that sounded pretty but didn't.. mean anything? Or wasn't visualizable and was therefore indigestible. I think this is a collection that will certainly work well for some folks but wasn't quite to my taste.
