» and you called it art and I’ll call it murder«- the art of bone carving
gorgeous, deeply personal poetry written in dakotas blood.
there were some poems i connected with more than others, which is obvious, due to poetry‘s highly subjective nature.
i fell in love with the distinctive voice dakota developed & the persona (question mark?) she developed so thoroughly throughout the book & her social media. I also loved the layout & the photographs in here, all really intimate stuff. the only critique i have is the (often occurring) re-use of some words (e.g. rot).
