orange peel (p. 3)

closer baby closer is the third poetry collection and fifth book by savannah brown. though i have not read her novels, i have read Sweetdark and quite enjoyed it!

closer baby closer is the middle ground between short, sweet instagram styled poetry and traditional verse. brown covers digital topics, the internet, jeff bezos' sexts which is what makes instagram/social media style poetry come to mind.

i am sad that I don't have favourite poems, and even sadder that I am not obsessed with this. I do have favourite descriptions! (if I did have a fav poem it would be My God, girlhood ripened) Here are the ones that caught my eye:

plushy leg fat straining against a grater of fishnet (p. 15)

obsession grants me the precision
of a surgeon... (p. 19)
