...and then she ate him by Tom Denbigh

funny inspiring

3.75

Hit or miss where the hits are amazing and the best thing you’ve read like really clear expressions of cathartic queer anger but mixed in with some poems which I just didn’t get (I mean that’s not a complaint I just didn’t understand them - they weren’t made for me, most likely) but the misses are really not for me (the Santa one. Oh god the Santa one. I hate it. Never again — rip out the Santa one and the collection is perfect.) Overall love Tom Denbigh as a poet tho. Really liked Siren, great way to start the collection, also loved the sentiments expressed in Bubbles and My Fruitier than Average Day.
