Sweetdark by Savannah Brown

Not great. Ultimately I was really disappointed by this collection. There were a few poems I connected with and liked “The universe may stop expanding in five billion years”, “Enough”, “me bare faced, in the sycamore”, “A memory”. Rarely did I connect with the entirety of a poem though, mainly just specific lines. Many, well most of them were confusing and didn’t give me any emotional feeling other than “I’m sorry what?”. Ultimately I felt like the author knew something I didn’t and like I needed an explanation about what the author was trying to say in the majority of the poems, which in my opinion makes you a bad poet. Certainly not an accessible collection of poems.
