This book was recommended to me with the term "poetic savagery", and I have to admit that it definitely fits. Beers pulls no punches, and her words are both unapologetic and clear cut. Poetry should make you feel, should make you think and stretch, and this collection does that.

On a personal note, the birds throughout the entire collection spoke to me, and I am very glad this was recommended to me. Highly recommend to lovers of personal, nature, and emotional poetry -this isn't one to miss.

Reading this was a bit like finding an alternate universe Dr. Seuss that had an advanced vocabulary and was politically and philosophically involved.

Definitely niche - and with some odd rhymes (and maybe puns? I'm not completely sure).
