Biting Thorns Off Roses

I received this ARC via NetGalley and Victory Editing in exchange for an honest review.
This poetry collection is a nice selection designed by an author for their first collection. Hoffman's poetry feels truthful and her candor is delectable in what is currently a highly-saturated field. Personally, the work is good for a first collection, but the organisation of the piece reads ill due to formatting issues, blank pages and other issues with the format across different readers (phone, kindle, laptop etc). The poet reigns in consistency of ideas, but could use some more editing, as many poems feel intangible, messy and could use some finesse.
