review 1: I expected to love this, but I didn't. Partly I think because confessional poetry seems exhausted and the neurotic young-mother voice is wholly unrelatable for me. Also, the student-bashing troubled me - she didn't really have much to say either, so why should she fault her students for her own shortcomings. The more language-poetry ones fell short of surprising. It's all fine, but not as great as I'd expected given the hype.
review 2: Incredibly smart and brave. Sometimes funny, sometimes devastating. It is a huge relief to read the work of someone who tells the truth (her truth) about subjects (marriage, motherhood) so many people treat in a superficial, Disney-esque sort of way. Like all deeply honest work, this book feels like a companion to me, one that... more makes the world less lonely. Plus, I was so happy to fall in love with poems so different from the lyrics I usually gravitate towards. Thank you, Rachel Zucker! less
