i love this book. i liked the second half, unction, more than the first -- her language and abstraction are very pretty, but there's no comparison to the genuine emotion in "unction". beautiful, beautiful poetry.

you say
‘you are such a ‘good writer’ for a woman of color.’

i hear ‘you have a better command of the english language than i
do.
my bitterness is wild salt in my blood
causing
my organs to crush and weep
and
this is the sound of my pain.’
