Only liked a few of the poems in this collection, but it got me thinking about poetry again, so that's good enough.

i read this for my summer homework, and it was actually quite nice to read some poetry. a lot of the poems in here were great, my favourite was "tablets VI" by dunya mikhail. however, even though all poetry is romantic in its own way, i still think it's a crime there's not a single love poem in this whole anthology lol.

I enjoyed this collection of poems. The editor selected shorter poems for the 2023 collection, which I found to be breezy and fun.

Not all the poems hit, but when they do, they hit HARD. The poems that I like most are, and why are coming soon when I have the brainpower to analyze why I like the poems so much.
