A very cute playfulness in these love poems that I enjoyed a lot. I like when people show the fun sides of love like yeah it’s dramatic and can be painful but when I think about my favourite moments and what made me truly love my partner, it’s in the moments when we’re having the most fun existing with each other. ...more
this is truly some the best poetry i’ve ever read. every word feels so intentional and holds so much weight. i felt like i could be held with every emthis is truly some the best poetry i’ve ever read. every word feels so intentional and holds so much weight. i felt like i could be held with every emotion that was being thrown at me. i don’t even know how i would go about choosing a favourite or even a top 3 because everything was just so good. genuinely if you could only read one poetry book for the rest of your life, let it be this one. ...more
i love MARINA and her music very dearly. because of how much her music impacted and rewired my brain, imma stand by her with whatever thing she dips hi love MARINA and her music very dearly. because of how much her music impacted and rewired my brain, imma stand by her with whatever thing she dips her toes in…unfortunately that doesn’t mean i have to love it. while i do think she’s a talented writer, i think she would thrive better in prose than full poetry. i’m not a big poetry person (my gf insists i just haven’t found actually good poetry yet) but this book has a lot of something i dislike about poetry and that’s the juvenile melodrama speak. this works good and is fun when it has a catchy beat to it but as text? not so much.
i did like quite a few poems though and as i said MARINA is a talented writer (as if her music didn’t say that for itself) but i just didn’t LOVE this. ...more
I’ve read all 3 of her poetry collections and it’s honestly fascinating to me her lack of desire to improve or change in any way. If you’ve read one, I’ve read all 3 of her poetry collections and it’s honestly fascinating to me her lack of desire to improve or change in any way. If you’ve read one, you’ve read all and unlike some people, I actually don’t think Rupi is totally incapable of writing good poems. In every collection there are few good ones that makes me go “why doesn’t she do isn’t of just making Instagram Quotes?� but if it makes money…why would she stop right?...more

Emily Austin please stick to prose fiction
Maybe I should just stick to older poetry before Twitter was invented because this contemporary poetry style where its references to products and Current Events™️ with no actual substance is so lame and makes me roll my eyes. ...more
the way this book describes butch femme sex would make any blush and feel the instinct to turn away. you can consider this maybe good and bad dependinthe way this book describes butch femme sex would make any blush and feel the instinct to turn away. you can consider this maybe good and bad depending on your view but anyway, i found myself thinking how if this was a woman writing about hetero sex, would i feel this way? why, after years of iding as a lesbian and a year(ish?) of iding as a femme lesbian do i still find myself so embarrassed and ashamed (for lack of a better term) of the concept of my own sexual desire. this book is more than sex � it talks on race (pretty well enough since the author is white), class, misogyny, lesbo/transphobia, etc and while you should read the book for all those reasons, it’s how open and unashamed the author can talk about pleasure that really stuck with me. i hope i can reach the point in deprogramming that i can get there. this is like…my femme bible now. ...more
