3.0

3-3.5 stars. I liked this accessible little book of poems, short and sweet. However, that is the opposite effect I would have liked in a collection about being a woman in the world today. That is anything but short, sweet. and accessible. In the long run, this collection didn't call any of these issues into question for me, nor did they provide any new insight. So if you want a quick read, and to read poetry you can grasp quickly, this is it. If you want your worldviews to be challenged, this isn't quite there. There are some lovely peices in here, but by and large, it wasn't enough for me.
