This is a poet I've meant to read for a long time. But when I got to a poem bemoaning the "return of white supremacy" I guess I decided he's not really for me.

Raw and magnificent; this honest and unembellished poetry collection focuses on race, sexuality , power and all things stigmatised, It was beautiful and hard hitting.

Thank you NetGalley for the chance to read and review this title! I’ve been a fan of Bidart’s for a long time and was so thrilled to see a new collection coming out and this didn’t let me down at all! I find Frank Bidart’s poetry so approachable and I appreciated the way that this collection flowed. There were a couple poems that knocked me off my feet and some lines that cut me to my core! Not every poem had this effect, but overall I thought it well worth the read and I can’t wait to add it to my collection!
