review 1: Oh, this took me to another place. It is so beautifully and delicately written. It is short, but I went back and reread parts over and over again. Currently reflecting on how we carry the experiences and trauma of the generations that came before. And how can poems that are so short be so poignant? Raw, sensual, moving, deep. It gave me a glimpse into someone else's trauma, while making me think that maybe I could be brave enough to visit my own.
review 2: Warsan Shire has a way with words, and she is easily one of my favourite poets of all time. I've read dozens poems on her blog, and fell completely in love with warsan vs. melancholy. That being said, I was a bit surprised by the themes of this book. Almost all of the poems discussed sex in some way or anoth... moreer. They are not my favourite poems, but they are still lovely so for that reason I reccommend it :) less
