This was my introduction to her work and I cant wait to read more since I was mesmerized with what she did in this book, even if I do have favourites, every poem did something to me and i'm sure some of them will be stuck with me. I'll be re-reading this very slowly soon and take them as a treat since this was one of the most captivating and beautiful collections I've read. It's amazing what one can do with words, and it will always amaze me the talent that people like her have, I'll treasure this forever.
A few favourites are: - Home - Backwards - Grief has its blue hands in my hair - Bless the moon - Hooyo full of grace - Drowning in dawson's creek - My loneliness is killing me - Extreme girlhood
Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers por providing me with the access to this eARC....more
