really liked it

From an astonishing depth, as if sacred scriptures and biblical figures were always hovering over Graham's pages. Death a reckless way of hatching emotions. With the lucid notion of her spectrum of possibilities as a black female poet. As she posts "The black body becomes/ the carcass of an insect,/ splinters of branches."Subtleties and scenes of chewing hard, remarking an overwhelming simplicity as in: "A tornado of flies./ An empty fire pit.".A book that starts out as strange but as you dive into it, you realize that your only desire is to finish reading it.
