Feedback is a beautiful and piercing collection short in length but overflowing with emotional resonance. Patti Smith uses language the way a sculptor uses light, shaping each line with a precision that leaves a lingering ache.
One standout moment for me was the quiet intensity in the poem that touches on memory and loss, it held that rare combination of softness and strength, the kind of writing that makes you pause and breathe differently.
This is the type of poetry that stays with you long after the final page. A moving and exquisitely crafted collection that deserves to be talked about, shared, and cherished by poetry lovers everywhere.
