Thank you to NetGalley and Querencia Press for the ARC. My opinions are my own. 

This was fine. I didn't really feel any specific way about it. I think I wasn't the intended audience. 
This collection is very American and explores multiple themes. Gender, grief, family, growing apart, trauma, and masculinity. 

I found the poems to be very abstract and "grey". It felt so dour. Some stylistic choices felt out of place or even distracting. The author clearly has a very specific mood and style in mind, I am just not sure if that is really my cup of tea. 

Final ranking and star rating? 
2 stars, D tier. Not really for me.
