**Review of *What She Wants: Poems on Obsession, Desire, Despair, Euphoria* by Kim Dower**

*What She Wants* by Kim Dower is a raw, emotionally charged collection of poems that delves into the intense spectrum of human emotions—obsession, desire, despair, and euphoria. Dower's vivid and accessible language captures the complexities of longing and vulnerability, making her work relatable and engaging.

Each poem in the collection offers a glimpse into the inner world of yearning, often with sharp, personal insight. The poems balance introspection with universal themes, allowing readers to connect deeply with the experiences she portrays.

Dower's ability to convey such a wide range of emotions with clarity and power makes *What She Wants* a compelling and evocative read for poetry lovers.

What She Wants by Kim Dower is my first experience of this author's work, and I was quickly seduced by the sharp, witty inner dialogue that comes together as a complete story. I think a reread will have me savouring this one in more condensed sections, and I'm sure that I will be every bit as enamoured. Obsessive love for someone, or even something, is a universal experience, and Ms Dower's clever observations of this particular condition will certainly resonate with the vast majority of readers. I look forward to experiencing much more of this intuitive and unique voice.
