This is a great collection of poems from a very promising poet. Personally I didn't enjoy the collection as much as I thought I would, because many were about Covid, and in some ways those poems felt a little cliche at times. But my personal mood aside, the poems were not only well written but interesting in formatting choices as well. I think the most jarring part was reading the poem from the inauguration and knowing in hindsight how much worse everything has since gotten.
