I was trying to find something new to read and when I saw LGBT+ and poetry, I knew I had to read this. Eventually, I realized that I've heard Wiley's poems before in their spoken version so I was happy for a chance to read more of her work. Thanks to NetGalley for providing me with a copy of this in return for my unbiased review! Riley, Rachel (23 January 2019). "Why I spoke out about Labour's anti-Semitism shame". The Spectator.

Study

thank God not the least bit smaller WOW. Rachel Wiley's collection took me by surprise in the best way possible. From the first poem, I was hooked. Wiley has a way of making her poems and sentence structures easy to read in a way that won't alienate any new readers of poetry but she also infuses wonderfully poetic imagery and wordplays that it made it an absolute delight to read. I loved how she allowed the collection as a whole to not lean into one specific emotion but just experience them all. There were lighter pieces interspersed in between longer serious poems, a laugh to calm your tears. And speaking of tears, I want to mention that a few poems made me cry! So GOOD. So good. I listened to the audiobook, which she narrated herself, and the combo was brilliant and powerful because hearing her passion, her intensity, just absolutely brought her already stunning and proud collection to life.
