(3.5 stars) Poems about breaking and healing. Sometimes Mateer runs on a bit for my liking, but she really captures the push-pull mentality that accompanies a break-up and the loss of companionship. Some lines/poems seem like they could possibly be cyclical with others in the collection, but they aren't explicit enough for that to ring completely true; instead a some parts seem a bit repetitive. I really appreciated the theme of taste in the collection, very well done. Sometimes it reads a bit young, but then again Mateer is young. Overall, reminded me of how I have processed grief in the past.
