Jenni Fagan has a unique, spellbinding voice. This poetry collection is heartrending, with themes of heartbreak, loss, struggles with mental illness and the feeling of being unloveable. Gothic vibes throughout.

there were only a few poems which i sort of liked but the rest just wasn't strong enough in my opinion

Two and a half stars. It's fine, overall, but I'm also reading Donika Kelly's poems which just blow There's A Witch in the Word Machine entirely out of the water. None of Fagan's poems really hold up under a second reading. So, again, it's fine. Not great, though.

The person who borrowed this from the library before me had left their bookmark on page 4. Kind of wish I'd given up at the same point. Maybe the 3rd person who borrows it will get the bookmark to the end.
