Every sentence in this book basically stunned me.
The beautiful precision of the languages.
The smashing together of words into worlds.

So much majestical language play.
So much looking deeply.
I ate this book.

Really interesting story about disability and illness in a family.
Not enough depth or self-analysis for me.
Glad I read it.

So sweet and cute!
A mix of funny and real.
I smiled a lot. A+ parents.

So dense and so smart.
So glad I own it.
Just beginning.

This is my second Osman book.
I love his language! So alive.
So many small moments of big life.

I liked very few of these poems.
The few I liked were very good.
Not enough language wonder for me, but I think this is a collection that will resonate with a lot of people, and I'm glad it exisits.

What a brilliant way to tell a history.
With specificity and care.
Digging into the flawed archive, giving up the burden of proof.

Wrong book/wrong time/wrong format.
I struggled.
Still, there were sentences that left me breathless.

Scenes of free.
Poems of free.
Language, spilled and free.
