Incorrect Merciful Impulses by Camille Rankine

emotional reflective tense medium-paced

4.0

certain poems and lines in this book pinpointed very exact feelings of existential dread and horror and want and joy that i have felt very intensely before and it was weird and stunning to have those moments of recognition. otherwise though, weirdly even though i would characterize many of these poems as sparse, i actually thought many of their endings were in the middle. would have loved to see these poems lean further into what they were -- they sometimes feel so restrained as to be detached. but a very beautiful book!
