Just so gorgeous. Each piece is so beautiful, different from one another but feels similar. I was worried it might read too closely to other stuff, but this is deeply different from [b:On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous|41880609|On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous|Ocean Vuong|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1552172553l/41880609._SX50_.jpg|61665003] in a lot of ways, while also feeling enough that it's clear they were written by the same person, in the best of ways. Just so many of the poems were so good, honestly picking one or two is really hard. "Seventh Circle of Earth" is incredible, though, as was "Ode to Masturbation."
