Very hard to rate a poetry collection. But I got what I was looking for: in that, I hadn't read poetry outside of school when I was a kid and I wanted to read some. And I loved most of the poems and their explanations in the back of the book. I marked 30 of them to revisit. Very lovely. Will read more.
Content Warnings
Moderate: Death, Gun violence, Miscarriage, Racial slurs, Sexual assault, Violence, Xenophobia, Antisemitism, Religious bigotry, Death of parent, Pregnancy, Alcohol, War
I've added these tags from what I remember in the poems... Nothing too overt, but as poetry is it's people talking about their own lives and experiences. Not too triggering in my own opinion, but of course proceed with caution.
