Grit: Poems by Silas Denver Melvin by silas denver melvin

emotional fast-paced

5.0

the only thing i can describe reading this collection of poetry is that i felt like i was unraveled. every poem here is gutting and heart-wrenching. i felt undone as i was fully embraced by these poems. trans poetry is just so fucking beautiful. i'm sooo into canine poetry so this passage from "let dead dogs lie" really put me OUT:

& he forgives you
dogs are like that
so loyal
dead dogs are just happy you're here

they don't know why you've been gone so long
