The words in this collection are so close to the body, it's almost like you aren't reading at all. I had to take these poems very slowly because they were honestly killing me. I was genuinely shocked by the dark places they go to, the lineage and depths of abuse and trauma. You might cry, you will probably gasp. These powerful poems explore so much in so few words: family, mental illness, gender, sexuality, death, loss. A new favorite.
