Ahhh, a book that has patiently waited for me to read it, lounging on the bedroom bookshelf for years. It honestly intimidated me a little? But it was great and I read it one sitting! Often lyrical and experimental works feel as fragmented as they appear. But good ones, like this, do that magical thing where the fragments add up in ways that somewhat defy the conscious mind but stick in the unconscious.

[Sara Habein]

Mistake very much mimics the chaos of a noisy brain attempting to process some major life event.It's a volume I will likely reread once more, as now I feel compelled to better understand. Even flipping through for the purpose of reviewing, after reading it twice, I already notice more about what is happening on the page. I wouldn't say I loved Mistake, but I liked the challenge, and anything that makes me want to revisit it is probably a good thing. Students of poetry, I would certainly recommend doing the same.

(My full review appears on Glorified Love Letters.)
