Two stars
I chose this rating because, while some of the poems were decent, I feel that a majority of the poems were made up of very muddled pieces of imagery which confused me and ruined the experience. The author’s writing was best when they didn’t rhyme. However, those small moments of good didn’t make up for the rest. I hope, however, the author continues to write and finds a large audience for their horror writing.

"Shame is the slick ichor / on sharp paper sheets, / pouring from a now / dry socket, ragged, deflated."
Severin is a sharp, poignant collection of poems, carefully crafted by Faust to invite the reader into a dark underground. The lyricism of the pieces allows readers to share in something that feels personal, yet at the same time lets each reader's imagination interpret twisted images in their own way. I can't wait to read more by Faust in the future!
