elizlizabeth 's review for:

The Wild Iris by Louise Glück
2.5
emotional reflective sad slow-paced

To be honest I don't usually read poetry, but this one was recommended to me for a challenge. For that reason I'm gonna be lenient with my rating, but I'll probably never read this again. There were a couple poems I ended up liking, but overall the tone is melancholic and at points even self-indulgent, I didn't know anything about the author beforehand, but it felt like sadness written by someone in the higher end of privilege (which ended up being true but).
