Just incredible, the last poem is going to haunt me for years to come. Some people ask me why I am a poet and do not write, and I feel like there's a poem that really articulates the interplay between politics, self, and art in a way that lingers beyond these pages. Loved!

I can honestly say that I rarely gravitate toward poetry, but something about this book and its cover drew me in. It was worth it. Hearing the perspective of a former sex worker-turned-poet on any number of topics - including the views on the trade itself and her opinion on stars who try to save Amber and her peers from their plight is nothing short of fascinating. Recommend, even if you don't usually read poetry.

I had bought this purely based on Puppyteeth's art. I came for the art and stayed for the poems. I really enjoyed Amber's poems. Hollywood Ending has to be one of my favorite poems from the collection.
