My Reaction in a Nutshell: 
 I am currently experiencing a whirlwind of emotions. 
 The Long Version: 
 I have never willingly read poetry before, but man does this book make me want to read more. 
 I devoured this book in one sitting. And afterwords felt like crying and cheering and embracing myself and crying some more. 
 My advice to people reading this: don't read it all in one sitting. This collection of poems is meant to be savored. You should read it slowly over the course of multiple days. Read a collection of one, two, or three poems in a sitting and then take a break to let your body, mind, and soul ingest the words. Each day read no more than one section in its entirety. If you read more than that you will experience a rush of emotions so strong that you won't be able to move or speak or think. 
 If you only read one poetry book in your entire life, make sure it's this one. 
 You will cry and laugh and feel empowered and cry some more. I started tabbing my favorite poems and then had to refrain from tabbing the entire book. Each is so thought provoking. 
 Fuck. I am still not able to full comprehend what I read. That's what reading this all in one sitting will do to you. 
 I loved the sketches. 
 I will most likely add more to this review later. Maybe some snippets of my favorite poems. I just had to let people know that this book is a must read.
