I must be missing something from contemporary poets but I'm not quite sure what it is. They are all the rage and makes me feel like I should like what's out there...but the modern collections I've read so far mostly remind me of inspiring or emo quotes you'd find on Pinterest. The same is no exception here. Having read a lot of Lang's Instagram poetry, I thought reading a book of hers would evoke more emotions and reflections. Instead many of the "poems" here were cliche, repetitive, and vaguely similar to other popular poetry I've read that didn't offer much imagery.

I'm also finding it frustrating
that when a sentence
is broken up
line by line
it
somehow becomes a poem.
