Reading this book is like sipping on the most perfectly steeped cup of peppermint tea. Very grounding. It honestly changed how I read, and how I think about what I read. I took my time reading the book over a few months, and scribbled a whole journal full of poems in the process. The author is from New Zealand so she references a lot of contemporary kiwi poets!

anything & everything she’s touched. evocative, literary, personal, critical, artistic. reading their words feels like falling into a long, lazy river or discovering the truth of the secret garden or connecting immediately, instantly with a stranger or finding peace in solitude

Unlike anything I have ever read before. Raw. Dazzling. Paradigm-shifting. Tender. I have just been chewing through it. Underlining every third sentence. I was reading it while eating French toast this morning and leaning over to reach the straw of my iced oat milk latte with my mouth because I literally did not want to take my hands off the pages.

I sometimes worry that I wouldn’t be such a feminist if I had bigger tits.

My toaster is having a bad week so she doesn’t have the energy to hold the lever down anymore. Which means I have to stand there pressing it down for three minutes making sure my toast doesn’t burn. I used to take that time for granted, now it’s being robbed of me by my broken toaster. Trying to give her grace.
