cherrywine_'s review against another edition

Casi no leo poesía, así que tampoco es que sea muy estricta en cuanto a lo que leo. De todos modos me gustó un montón, especialmente por la forma simple y honesta de escribir de la autora.
constantvigilance's review against another edition
3.0
3.5/5 stars.
I enjoyed this little collection, but couldn't help comparing this collection to Rupi Kaur's Milk and Honey. I honestly don't know what makes her collection better than this one, but I just find it much more thought-provoking and deep. I do enjoy feminist poetry, as my liking for Kaur's poetry suggests, but when most every poem in the collection is a thought you've had, a sentence you've written, or something you've said to your friends or family, reading gets tedious - even with a book as short as this one. I just did not get the feeling of discovery or epiphany.
Now, these are not bad poems. They're about great subjects. I eved dog-eared a few pages to come back to them later. I just feel like I've read the bulk of these poems before.

I really liked these poems and have been trying to build up my poetry collection (but failing) for years. I bought this on a whim (and when I probably shouldn't have, but it was inexpensive and I really loved the poems Meggie Royer posted on tumblr). I honestly don't remember when I read it or for how long I did, but I do know I read it, and thought I should at least document that. I will reread it until it's pages are worn, that I am sure of.
