here lies
the raw,
unpolished,
& mostly
disjointed
pieces of
my soul.
MY REVIEW:
enjoyable/easy to read:
☆☆☆☆☆3.5/5
This book had me from the second page:
when i had
no friends
i reached inside
my beloved
books
& sculpted some
out of
12 pt
times new roman.
- & it was almost good enough.
Tough subjects tackled with prose. Yeah, I’ve seen the bitter tumblr-related reviews and yeah, I get it. The author is a little too fond of hitting enter and it might not be ‘highbrow’ enough for all the poetry snobs out there but I enjoyed it. My inner emo kid appreciated the little throwback feeling this collection of poems inspired.
