it was ok. some poems were amazing like ‘to you’ and ‘to a stranger’ and ‘whoever you are holding me now in hand’ but the others are so boring. it’s all ‘war’ and ‘boat’ and ‘who am i? what is life’ repetitive and boring. but the few shined bright saving it with a 2. also there were lots of questionable lines and a lot of using the word ‘conception’ and ‘mother’ to describe women. little icky
