Thank you to the author for being so raw in sharing their feelings and experiences. As a sci-fi fan, i especially enjoyed the poems that leaned more towards the scientific ("Post-Traumatic Mathematics") but also devastating poems like "Look, Mom, I'm chronically ill" contributed to an overall visceral reading experience. A great blend of poetic and brutal honesty.

POWERFUL. That is the only word that comes to mind when I think about this collection of poetry. The hope, frustration and grief are peppered on each page. Each poem more relatable as the last, until you are left with the totality of pages that fully describe you.

"Inspiring" is my favourite poem, and "What cannot be quantified, can be ignored" is a true representation of the pain scale when it comes to people suffering with hEDS and MCAS, along with it's many other co morbidities.

I got this as an arc on Netgalley and it will come out in June. Yeah this was a short but very good collection of poetry dealing with what it means to be disabled and the harm society can do on us. Very recognisable.
