Romancing the Gatekeeper by Amanda VanderBroek
5.0
dark emotional funny reflective medium-paced

I don’t usually read poetry about death but this collection has a good balance of dark themes, comedy, and nostalgia. Some of the poems are very reflective and talk about history but also make me think about my younger years. Her poetry also talks about chronic illness which is another topic I don’t read much about and I feel like she did it really well.
