emilyburdick 's review for:

3.0
emotional reflective medium-paced

Let me start by saying I'm not big on poetry and I don't read/review it much so maybe I'm off beat here. I was pretty underwhelmed by this collection, as I've heard people fawn over Atticus' poetry. I'm pretty turned off by the tiny, one sentence, two words per line poetry so I was disappointed to see that most of these poems fell into that category. I liked the few poems that were longer because I feel like there's more to delve into with those. I did enjoy the photography included with the poetry, and how he separated the collection into three sections to represent different stages of a relationship. Upon reading some other reviews, I see a lot of people say his first collection was better so I may still try that one out in future.
