To keep up the reading momentum I also finished While I Wait to be a God Again, a poetry collection by gay writer Don Martin. I found Don through his sweet, intelligent TikToks where he often skewers bigotry with humor. That wit threaded through a collection filled with strong imagery and truly creative perspectives on seemingly mundane subjects. His voice is genuinely unique and made for a great read. My favorite pieces included, "Mr. Green" , "arcade" , "resurrection game" , "Ratatosk" , "Reynard" , and "grief hungers."

Collection of poems. On kindle Unlimited 

Explores themes of disillusionment. How we don’t recognize what possibilities are in the world around us. 

It is definitely exploring the modern problems and emotions of the digital age. 

I really liked ferocity, sneeze, artifact, divided. 

The shorter ones really packed a punch or a laugh is such a concise amount of lines. 

Good poems but I don’t think any will really stick with me past this read.

Had a great time annotating this. Wrote a little something on each page inspired by that particular poem.

You looked like the kind of trouble that comes from never experiencing anything real and I knew we were forever and that forever was likely going to be two weeks.

An absolutely gorgeous collection of visceral and emotional poems, that wrap you in yearning, heartache and a touch of mysticism. Highly absorbing and affecting.
