3.0

adventurous challenging dark emotional reflective tense slow-paced

I struggled with this, with letting go of the expectation for a story told in prose and embracing the vagueness and the vagaries of poetry as means for storytelling.

It was a slog for my rational self, while it was sweet for my emotional, sentimental self. The 3 is where my head and heart met for a rating.
