I delved into this poetry collection without knowing anything about it and having never read anything by its author. The beautiful cover captivated me from the outset and the title immediately made something inside me click into place. What made me give this book 5 stars, though, was the innovative and utterly mesmerising way those poems blew me away. 
 Kwiatek's poetry is very hard to describe. The images that each and every one of her poems evoked were enchanting and powerful. I admired her use of diction and the clever way she toyed with her stanzas and the position of each word, which was really thought out. Kwiatek won the Iowa Poetry Prize in 2014 and 'Study for Necessity' clearly indicates why. I will definitely come back to this collection soon, since I feel that there are still many things to be discovered in her poems upon a second reading. Simply a marvelous little book.
