What to Eat, What to Drink, What to Leave for Poison by Camille T. Dungy
reflective

Solid 5 stars
Sheesh. Her writing is so mellifluous.
I loved “Requiem”, told from the point of view of someone who is dying. “I looked left, not right, crossed the street and stepped in front of the bus that ended me.”
The poem, “Sinner, don’t you weep” about sexuality, desire, and pleasure. “Desire is the flesh, the fruit you cry for every night.”
The poem “Cleaning” that talks about regret, “I only understood too late what can be fatal to the heart.”
