#ad #gifted | thanks to netgalley and the publisher for giving me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review

this book is heavily experimental, playful and absurd (in a good way!), with a wide range of different poetic structures and forms covering a variety of topics from the genres of sci-fi, fantasy and contemporary literature, with references to music, literary allusions and lots and lots of bizarreness

an enjoyable collection to read and experience, but a lot to wrap your head around of what was going on, which is common is wacky poetry like this, so keep a dictionary in hand when reading because the diction choices  do get overtly complicated at times
