This was not a poetry collection for me. I don't read a lot of poetry, some Andrea Gibson and some Amanda Lovelace, but I live in New Zealand and was excited to try this one out.
I didn't enjoy the writing style and found the essays and poems too chaotic and abrupt for my taste, but I'm glad that so many others love Poukahangatus.

I can certainly recommend checking this one out, I just was not the right audience for this.

Thanks Netgalley for providing me with an eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Hopefully I'll be able to get into it.

But I just wasn't able to finish this unfortunately
