"I don't give a shit if sperm freezes over
I'll die alone and dig it"

i am so awful at reviewing poetry but im glad lesbian heartbreak poetry transcends the generations! “menstrual lamentation”, “sharing” , “i remember i was lonely” and “farewell” were probably my favourites.

This isn’t usually the type of book I’d pick up, but the title convinced me. Oh and I am so glad that I did pick it up! It hit me right in the heart and I cried lots!!!
