This chapbook was absolutely stunning. I wasn't planning on taking notes while reading it, but then only a couple poems in I was just bursting with how much I loved certain lines/poems, and I just had to write it down somewhere. My notes weren't very eloquent (one of them was just "i have CHILLS this is so good and trans and good") but the point is I loved this book. I would read anything Downs writes. Also it's impossible to pick a favorite but I have to shout out Genesis 3:23 as an incredible poem.
