“I want to emphasize my standard disclaimer regarding my inability to properly review poetry because of my substandard reading comprehension in this medium. The book jacket bills Rich as "the singular voice of her generation" - I think a large part of my issue is I'm not from the same generation, or nationality. I am lacking context. This is to my detriment, as what I could piece together seemed to be important words on activism, social issues particularly with a feminist lens, Jewish heritage and queer identity. My success rate with poetry collections - ratio of how much I enjoyed versus didn't like/understand - tends to dictate whether I'll pick up a work from this poet in the future. With not a single whole poem sticking with me in 500 pages, I don't think I'll be interacting with Rich again. Could not get into the way she works with words. 🤷🏼♂️. ⚠️ Discussion of mastectomy, suicide, referenced child abuse, SA, racism, domestic abuse, misogyny”Cheyenne Phillips
