I received a copy of this from the author.

The first six sections are comprised of poems while the final section includes several short stories. 

I really enjoyed poems referencing literary works we all read in college (looking at you, lit majors/minors) as well as the Carolina odes, and references to climate change. While I felt some of the poems lacked cohesion to the rest of their section, I enjoyed the author's writing. 

The short stories could have been standalone, in my opinion. There is some interconnectedness to the rest of the collection, but they really felt like a separate collection entirely. 

I noticed some structural and grammatical issues throughout that I hope are adjusted prior to publishing.

Overall, an interesting read!
