A review by lattelibrarian
i'm alive / it hurts / i love it by Joshua Jennifer Espinoza
3.0
There were some poems that I really liked here, some I didn't. But that's the same with any poetry book, you like some, you don't like some. But I really respected this book--it takes a lot for anybody to speak their truth and put it out there like this, especially to the subjective opinions of critics and casual readers alike. I found these poems to be a little too crass at times, and I couldn't necessarily relate to them--which is fine. Some truths are relatable, some aren't. Certainly, this would appeal to many trans readers, as the experiences and emotions may be similar to what they're feeling. Overall, a nice book, and well designed.
