as w a lot of poetry books i think i need to reread this one a couple more times before i get a strong idea of what i feel about this collection, but i loved it so much...the only thing was that it was so painful sometimes, the whole first part was so difficult to go through because of the subject matter. the work reads smoothly and after just one read i can't think of any strangely written lines at all. really, really beautiful and raw, reminds me of ocean vuong.
