4.0
I absolutely devoured this poetry collection, in the same way that I do the words of Rupi Kaur.
This is a timely and topical collection from a diverse range of contributors, and while some of the form was experimental to the point that it was lost on me (Matriot Acts, for example), others were just incredible and felt like they had captured the current political pulse so well (I loved Ode to the Pantsuit! Evoked all the #ImWithHer feels!)
