“this is their language and not mine”
“but why should mathematics be applied to something as precious as flesh”
I don’t typically enjoy poetry, however the accessibility of this collection is what drew me in.
I thought it interesting that the authors voices & stories were often co-opted for the benefit of other people; particularly women & their sexuality.

This is a haunting collection of poems with so many lines that left me breathless. I like that the collection does not cater to the white gaze.
My favorite poems in the collection were: Everything Will Be Taken Away, AND COLD SUNSET, "Now More Than Ever," A Brief History of the Present, and Who Speaks for the Earth?
