I struggled with this too! I wish each poem was written in the current format and then on a plain page after. I would find that a lot easier to read and still have the art/photography to refer back to for the full experience.Stephen Christopher 1 wrote: ↑01 Nov 2023, 21:27 Like in most books of poetry, some of these I loved, and some, tbh, I didn't want to finish reading. The sexual metaphors are a little too much in some of them. However, Kidding Around, while it appeared to be sexual in nature, ended up with an awesome ending and encouraged me to keep reading. I also found the ones where she'd just circled some words from existing texts a little harder to follow.

Yes Catherine, I agree with that too. I like the concept, but they were hard to read, maybe if they'd been side by side, the original and then your idea, they'd be easier to read and understand. Did you have a favorite one from the book in the end?
