“too soon// it doesn’t make any sense to me/ that some lines just run out of ink/ before getting to the good part”

nothing beats “eighteen years” imo but this collection i loved. loved the words and every poem. loved the concept of it all.

but, as i always say after reading kuhn’s prose: i need more. i need short stories, journey entries, i need her prose!!

This book made Sandra Cisneros go up to my top authors.
The prologe alone broke me in half.
The short stories to come behind it mended me back together.
I encourage anyone to read this.
