This collection is a heartfelt exploration of what it's like to be a person prone to questioning the theology they're taught since childhood. I was especially interested on the "On Job" poems which push back against the lessons we're "supposed" to learn from the story. On the other hand, I was a little disappointed in the hymn erasure poems; they didn't seem to be saying anything all that different from the originals, and I thought they could have pushed it much further. I appreciate the show more intersectionality of many of these poems, giving glimpses into experiences that I both can and can't relate to. show less

Fantastic collection! Best thing about 2020 was all the books of poetry and I purchased and read from Button Poetry.
