Ordinary Beast by Nicole Sealey
4.0
Really just good poetry tbh. Would’ve been 5/5 but the very first poem’s first lines seemed homophobic to me lmao? Kind of jarringly so. But otherwise, powerful and well-done. I would read more of her work. When I read “candelabra with heads” I honestly gasped when I saw the poem start to reverse around itself at its center.
Favorite poems: a violence, candelabra with heads, hysterical strength, the first person who will life to be one hundred and fifty years old has already been born, heretofore unuttered, even the gods, object permanence
