Am I missing something? It was such an annoying read. Sure I'm well aware contemporary poetry is not my favourite, but I'm quite interested in poetry's evolution over the centuries. This collection, though, was far from being enjoyable to read. Many times, I thought this wasn't really poetry, but rather prose in a different formatting.
So... the formatting. I was initially interested in this collection because it was marketed as dealing with topics such as depression (as I've myself had it for several years). Unfortunately, I could barely focus on the words, on the meaning, on the writing skills due to this horrible formatting.

I realise it's really hard to review something that can be so personal to the author. It does feel like she wrote down her thoughts, like a stream of consciousness sort of writing style. As someone who writes because it helps me heal, I respect that. I've studied poetry long enough to know it is a powerful tool in order to express yourself, as Audre Lorde said, "poetry is not a luxury". But, this collection needs more revising and more attention on both the author and the editor's parts.
I can't bring myself to give this collection more than one star. I didn't like it. On a positive end note, I like how it makes me reflect on what truly are the rules of poetry, its boundaries. Perhaps this type of poetry may simply be a whole sub-genre of its own: performance/spoken poetry.
