With few exceptions, I am a firm believer that one should never read the comments section. This collection of erasure poetry was essentially being forced to read the comments so that you could see what Baer was doing with the erasure. Sure, some of the poems resonated, but in general her work is just not for me. I don't need things to be happy all the time, but I do need to maintain my sanity as a woman in this, The Year of Our Lord 2023, and many of the original comment content is stuff I try to avoid every day. More of the poetry in this slim collection made me feel worse about humanity instead of better, even with the attempted tongue-in-cheek response. YMMV.
