First poetry collection of 2020 and I have to say: I was definitely not a fan.

For as much as I found some (the real minority) of sentences somewhat pretty, the great majority of these poems alienated me. This was an alienating experience and surely not a good one.

The metaphors just did not make sense to me, and I even found that some were repeated a bit too much. So they even lost their unicity pretty quick.

I could not relate to the struggle and the feelings depicted for (I think) two main reasons.
1. Some parts were simply not for me. There was a part in this collection that was centered around pregnancy, and I’m just not the targeted audience for this topic.
2. The metaphors (as I have mentioned) were complete nonsense.

Now, let me further discuss this.
I say the metaphors were nonsense because, to me, it felt as if the author put two words that they sounded beautifully together but that, in reality, they were anything but beautiful. They actually made no sense whatsoever.
I was more focused on understanding the metaphors and the overall feeling of the poem than actually enjoying the reading experience. And what a frustrating experience this was.
Also because, honestly, the metaphors I did understand were rather average, cliché and definitely not ground breaking.

So, all in all this was a complete and utter flop for me.
I did not enjoy it in the slightest and I found myself confused and detached.

I'm sorry but unfortunately these poems really didn't resonate with me at all. I found a lot of them overly cryptic and just didn't 'get it'. Unfortunately it's just not a style of poetry that I could personally enjoy.
