"An iridescence—a crazed green—out the kitchen window, spreading *forever.*"

Aptly titled. Not for me. Graham's breathless voice suits her topics � grief, climate change, technology, living in late stage capitalism � but makes for difficult and exhausting reading. It's a lot of work (and often thematically quite negative), and unlike some other challenging poets I've read in the past, it doesn't feel "worth it" to me to dig through the overwhelm for meaning or revelation.
