After reading one of Courtney's other entries I Hope You Stay (and still being relatively new to her style), I was open to giving this a go and see if her work was more expansive. Unfortunately, I found this to be more frustrating. These prose center on Courtney and fellow poet/collaborator Zack Grey sharing ruminations about long-distanced relationships starting with how far apart they are to reuniting towards the end. But it didn't feel like the authors were on any sort of overarching journey of connectedness with the people they were writing about. Their poems certainly hit the mark with the title because most of the poetry is just about longingness. Even if that's the aim of the book's theme, the poetry and prose felt irritatingly repetitive in the choice of words/phrases such continually using a pillow to act like the other person's absence in bed and ending multiple poems with "you are mine" to rhyme with "time."...A lot of popular poetry on social media and pinterest isn't for me (which is what Courtney's work reminds me of), and I know that going in....I'm always willing to be open-minded, but then is left frustrated that these compilations count as popular poetry/prose.
