I have heard rave, rave reviews for this one but something about the format didn’t sit right with me. All of the poems are in a long numbered list and the constant citations, while interesting, sometimes distracted from the poet’s own words. I wouldn’t have minded if the format switched up a bit. As for the content, some standout passages but most didn’t hit connect for me.
Graphic: Sexual content and Injury/Injury detail
Moderate: Cursing and Toxic relationship
