This is a profoundly honest and deeply moving story of a woman who's life story will bring you to tears of both laughter and joy. It is a story of resilience, faith, triumph and strength. I am lucky to call her my friend and a source of great inspiration.

Highly recommend the audiobook version. Moving.

Good intro! Thank you.

This should be required reading for everyone

Classist

Depraved and masochistic :) love u kafka

Insightful! At the very least thought provoking and forces self-reflection, even for those less spiritually minded.

Some sections seemed a bit underdeveloped, but overall this was really gorgeous and gave me chills multiple times :-)))

Amazing

Very sick

The best book I have read this year.

This was a very beautiful and very gay collection of work. Felt like a nonstop gut punch, in the best way. “We are all just trying to be holy.”

holy shit

Queer experience meets hindu mythology meets body & identity politics meets a beautiful love story. This is easily one of my favorite books I've read this year.

very sick I loved it

triggering, powerful, necessary

white dude takes acid once and shits out a cringey postmodern “novel”

A sort of scattered but intimate look into her mind in her final days. Fragments scribbled in her own handwriting on scraps of envelope paper, often vague and in-cohesive by nature, but occasionally insightful and moving. Definitely the most experimental Dickinson I've read.

Every single person should read this book

A very basic, surface-level anthology of American poetry. A decent introduction to the classics! No complaints!
