I Can Remember the Meaning of Every Tarot Card But I Can't Remember What I Texted You Last Night by Elle Nash

menastarr's review

2.0

you wouldn’t expect it, but there’s very dense and heavy content matter within this short chapbook. some poems spoke to me, but if i’m being entirely honest it felt like i was on LSD while reading this. it was very disorienting and not all of it made sense to me. i can see why the tumblr girls love it though– it is very modern.

“you will be there when
i take my hair down
you will see the way the curls fall
against the pattern of a bed”
Wow! Way more dense and emotional that I expected for my first read of 2024. It feels like the author takes you through a dark journey- so many good poems, the first few especially were my favorite.

simple. raw. feels
like it was written for me.

Wow.

As with a lot of poetry, this can be a tough read. Not because the prose is difficult to parse, but because it's very dense emotionally.

Even though you could read this in an afternoon, I recommend spreading it out over a few days. I think it sinks in better that way.

I think the world created in this book will be sticking with me for some time.

i'm going to admit i mostly read this because i liked the cover. the poems themselves are very, very intense... that's a good thing btw. 4.75 stars
