I requested and received this book from Booksirens. My opinions are my own.

I wanted to love this poetry collection. But, I didn't. It is a work of poetic fiction, with multiple narrators the number of which I do not know. I also can't tell if the narrators repeat.

 There is one poem in this collection that soured the rest for me. I truly believe had I expected it I would have had a better experience. The poem is "War Talk" and I'm not comfortable quoting it here. But after reading it mind kept going back to it. And every time I read a poem that could've had the same narrator I became uncomfortable. 

The vast majority of the poems in this collection are cute, sexy, romantic, or a combination of the three. It is an objectively interesting and good collection. It's just not for me. 

 (I also want to say that it is my own life experience that colored the way I read "War Talk". But that is the beautiful terrible thing about art and creating. No matter what the artist, author, ect wanted or meant to convey they/we have no way to know how people will experience it.)
