A Little Daylight Left: Poems by Sarah Kay
Did not finish book. Stopped at 23%.
ARC review; thanks to NetGalley, Random House Publishing Group - Random House, and The Dial Press for sending me this ebook. Pub date: Apr 01, 2025.
I always hate when a poetry collection doesn't work for me. Poetry seems very personal, so I feel like people who write it pour more of themselves into it. This just wasn't for me.
Maybe I just don't have whatever knowledge it takes to appreciate poetry beyond feeling. Cause when I don't connect to it or can't relate to it, I can't sit with it.
Overall, these poems seem well-written to me, I just wasn't getting anything out of them, but I don't doubt there's people who will, and I hope this book finds its audience.
