I've really enjoyed Amanda Lovelace's poetry before, some of them are quite beautiful but this one was absolutely not it. I was so bored and almost none of it felt like poetry. Like no, I'm not gatekeeping what poetry is and isn't but this was just endless paragraphs of affirmative quotes or Instagram captions or something.

It was very much telling instead of showing through verse. Poetry is supposed to be lyrical, not whatever this was. The author's poetry is usually different and out of the box but I think this was just a fail for me.
