In Full Velvet by Jenny Johnson

dark emotional reflective medium-paced

4.25

A reflective, emotional debut collection of poetry that gets at the heart of queer identity, community, and love. A few months ago, I had the privilege of virtually meeting Jenny Johnson and hearing her read some of her works, so I knew this collection of hers wouldn't disappoint. Sensual and oh-so-rich in its verse, each and every poem in this collection is packed with heart and never failed to pull me into its hypnotic language. My favorites from this collection include "Dappled Things," "In Full Velvet," and "In the Dream" - I can't wait to explore more of Johnson's works! <3
