A gorgeous, raw, intimate set of poems addressing a dark and important piece of history. Bouwsma has written a deeply-felt, evocative book that feels physical and personal. I also appreciated her thoughtful afterword, which shed additional light on her writing process, why this subject spoke to her, and her interrogation of her own privilege. Well worth a read.

not really sure how I feel, other than very sad for the people hurt by this part of history.
