wow. olivia gatwood so skillfully connects her early experiences, our modern-day obsession with true crime, and the fears of women across the board. throughout her collection of poems, she gives gentle but firm notice to the role race plays in real women’s outcomes. and with grace, she dances around how simultaneously rational and irrational women’s fears can often be. I felt both held and challenged by the end of the book.

The poems weren't perfect, but there was so much energy in this collection and I loved the subject matter.

this was definitely quite intense; some of it I really loved and other parts just didn’t have the same effect on me. I do wish it had clicked more with me tbh
