leighbeevee's review against another edition

This collection felt too lofty and hard to grasp. Most of the poems seemed deliberately dense, affected, and too academic.

• Plot- or character-driven? N/A
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I'm not exactly sure how to rate this book because it has more quotes in my make-shift notebook than any other poetry book this year, but at the same time - I didn't love it. I think I recommend it, "I think I can, I think I can."

alexlanz's review against another edition

She was really young when she published this but it feels like it's from a modernist master; pretty out there.
