Thank you to NetGalley and Red Hen Press for the ARC. My opinions are my own. 


TLDR: Confusing and obsessive

I will cut straight to the chase here; this was a big miss for me. Usually collections (short stories or poems) that are about love and desire hits that sweet spot for me. This one missed the mark by a long shot.

The poems were confusing. I couldn't make out any proper connection. Most were too similar to each other or rewrites of the same thing. The poems were either too obsessed with man/men or the woman herself. 

I just couldn't connect with it in any meaningful way. Neither am I sure who this is for ... 2 stars.
