Life of the Party: Poems
by Olivia Gatwood
challenging
dark
reflective
tense
medium-paced
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.
