This chapbook is absolutely beautiful. It had my heart right from the beginning, but I kept getting further and further pulled in all the way through. Some of these poems punched me in the face (in a good way), and others felt like gorgeous song lyrics.

One thing I thought was unique about this chapbook: I've read a lot of poems directed at exes that talk about how the ex should have known there would be poems about them, about how they'll know this is about them, etc. But this is interesting because the ex is a songwriter, and the narrator knows the songs are about her too. It makes the same idea fresh because there's this twist on it that I found really compelling.

Also just because I need to share them here are some of my favorite lines:

"look at how beautiful autumn is even
when everything is falling apart"

"what I mean to say is:
I may never write another poem,
but I’ve found a hundred other
uses for my hands" 

"I want to make a big deal about still being alive"
