This is my fault for not reading a few pieces before buying this book (Carmen Awkward-Rich and torrin a. greathouse endorsed it and that was enough for me), but this is just not a writing style that I love in large amounts. There were pieces I enjoyed. And I also think this is important. Especially if this is the type of poetry you enjoy. Just too much telling over showing for me, personally. I would have given this 3 stars based on personal enjoyment, but the themes are well-executed for anyone who enjoys this style.

I don't know how else to describe it other than a love letter. It felt like I was reading a love letter. Whether the words were joyful or not. It felt like a comforter? Like an ode to self...love letters.
