worst poetry I've ever read and i used to be my friends beta reader. praying eileen learns how to write poetry, especially not just 1 word a line poetry... my least favourite was "Aloha: good title" yes that is the entire bloody poem,,, thats not a poem thats 3 words... eileen if you ever see this please either learn good poetry or never write again thanks hugs and kisses xoxo

This book feels like listening to a rambling train of thought that I cannot follow. The style that the poems are written in feels difficult to read.
I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Truly the New York poet of our time, Myles' latest work is incomparably their best yet. A political commentary, a confession, a dedication to the ass (as we've seen before with Myles), Evolution is a collection on intimacy and how to deal with yourself throughout the Trump era.

Not in the mood for the audiobook, would rather read it physically rn but don't know when I'll be able to so I'm putting this off till I'm in the mood for it

Some of the poems really hit, and some missed the mark for me. It was well compiled but it was mixed as far as me relating to it!

I thought summer's a good
Growing season or is
it. Is summer just hot?
I could bring my flowers to your flowers, always
afraid when I show
that maybe I am making
a funeral.
A bit of a difficult reading experience, but looking back, there were several poems I really enjoyed.
Favorites: "A Gift for You", "Dream", "Angel", "Western Poem""Circus", "A hundred per cent"
