Pillow Thoughts by Courtney Peppernell

emotional hopeful sad slow-paced

2.5

I think the poems are too long and rambly, for the most part. It felt like there should have more poems that were shorter in length, and the longer poems had hard breaks of change in perspective and imagery that should have lent itself towards being a different poem. The word choice also varied between large and metaphorical and too hyper realistic, I wish that we could have just stuck to one or the other.

That being said, I think the 1st or 2nd poem on love does this style of poetry the best. It felt like that moment of gushing where you have everything and nothing to say to your loved one, just rehashing over and over again just how much you love them. I connected to the poem quite a bit.
