even the poem ‘into the breach’ which is kinda based on a sentiment of comparing the totality of some forms of love to a serial killer’s romanticized attitude to his victims, it made me so emotional and despite being a hardcore hater of serial killer stories and their romanticization, i could look past that and get it anyway and find something for myself in it

i’ve had this book half read for a couple of months but picked it back up and started from the beginning. it’s such a stark contrast to pablo whose collection i read last. i’m sure it’s just me and my super subjective perception but it hits much harder when there are lots of beautiful original similes and imagery even if the stories are often very autobiographical and not presented as universal
