I don't read a lot of poetry, but I saw this on my storygraph recommendations one day and the title instantly drew me in. I really enjoy Mateer's prose style and I plan to read more of her collections! The poems in this collection were a nice mix of long and short, and her writing varied from more casual to lyrical. I felt the hurt and the healing in her words. This was a quick, easy read and I look forward to diving into more poetry this year!
