4.5 stars. I don't read a lot of poetry, but I have read a lot of Margaret Atwood's works and this definitely holds up with her style. I love how accurately irreverent she can be with her opinions on the world and how easily she can pick apart the foibles of human existence. This collection is at once humorous and humbling, it is lovely and emotionally evocative. A simple read with a great audio format that is narrated by the author.
