A review by cweichel
Thousand Star Hotel by Bao Phi

5.0

I adored this book. I think it inspired me to write more honest poetry this past week. On the other hand, Bao Phi's writing intimidates the heck out of me.
I have lines and phrases from this book scribbled on bits of paper and in the notes app on my ipad.

Here is a fragment from Therapist 4:
"Each raindrop doesn't care
if it's the one to soak in
or the one that stays above it all to flood.
They just throw themselves on top of each other
until they become bigger than who they were
when they were apart."

Here's another snippet from Night of the Living:
tonight I will see
if dreaming of being myself
is ever going to be enough
