Was this the book to try and discover poetry with? Probably not, there are quite a few poems that stuck with me such as Coming Out, Home, Raw, Sea Legs & Boundaries but overall, I don’t think this was for me.

I know poetry can be very personal, in a way fiction books necessarily aren’t so I am sure there will be many that these poems have a much bigger impact on.

Entirely my misunderstanding but I didn’t realise the target audience was teens. I imagine the tone would resonate more with those younger folk, but even so think the poetry rather simplistic and ineffective
