“I never stay too long because if I do, I can tell that my language is not the only thing that is growing. A monster is also growing. It is not something I write about in my seasons book. That I am devouring my world. That I have to move on, to avoid eating up my world. That I am a monster on the move, a winter monster.”

There’s an almost frantic obsession with night and silence in her poetry. Something about death, the night, and silence is always present.

This book is undoing what I thought was irreparable psychical damage that I’ve accumulated over the years since 2021.

Cornerstone and Primitive Eyes are such perfect standouts. Gorgeous. Ethereal. Surreal. Relatable.

For some strange reason this book does not strike me as repetitive at all despite the recursions.

This is very meditative. It’s like breathwork. Interesting. I’m intrigued.

I speak of the irreparable. I want nothing less than the irreparable. The unbound body.

Reading this book is so painfully exhausting because it feels like I’m wasting my time. I’m grateful it introduced me to Alejandra Pizarnik, but goddammit is it insufferable.

She’s interesting. I would totally be friends with her.

Oh girl….

I can’t believe this is a translation. Stunning.

So good

Her style of writing is reminiscent of Leonora Carrington, Alejandra Pizarnik, Claire Oshetsky, and a hint of Cristina Rivera Garza. Very interesting.

I just wish it wasn’t soooo easy all the time. Things “somehow” happen, there is no clear struggle. It’s alright but it’s just too lazy sometimes.

I hope Satan’s spawns are chasing Ted in hell.

The writing is a little eeh but it’s a good thriller so far, great for a tv show.

I am more other than the others. What I want from this poem is the loosening of my throat.

“Vulture-careless deer on the roadside”, that’s a bit tired idk. I liked the title and how it prepares you for subtlety but then you’re shocked by the extreme hyperbole. Otherwise, the poem was flat and unnecessary.

This book shouldn’t be that stressful to read. There’s an unnecessary amount of repetition, stylistic but.. c’mon, overkill.

How beautifully written. How revelatory.

Girl get to the point omfg
