This collection of poems really brings to light all the small little slights of hands that we face everyday or the ways that other people see us and hurt us, our confidence and our happiness. Even for a guy there were some in here that really resonated with me, from weight to under appreciated moms of the world.
“what is your beauty secret? She answers: hot lemon water every morning. She does not answer: time.”
Really enjoyed Part I. I have her second collection and look forward to reading it.
“Sometimes I imagine what it'd be like to / show you I'm alive. The thrill of it. The sharp / inhale. The nerve exposed. The bone.”
