I got this as an arc on Netgalley and it will come out in February. Lovely small book of poetry about being transmasc. The poems were so beautifully raw and queer.

I struggled a bit trying to give this poetry collection a rating. I ended up settling on 3.5 because there were a couple of the poems that I really loved, and could definitely see myself being haunted by. A lot of the poems had very sexual undertones relating to both relationships and the transmasc experience (which is fine! The description did mention that this collection covers sexual relationships, I just didn’t expect it to be in the majority of them). Overall, I think Tommy Wyatt has a very provocative writing style, and the short length of these poems made them very punchy, but I personally didn’t find myself connecting to most of them.
