Mere Extinction

Mere Extinction by Evie Christie

3 stars. 

Thanks to ECW Press for sending me this book of poetry to read and review. 

Sometimes poetry is too literary for me... aka I don’t get the lines of words, don’t comprehend,  or can’t follow the poem. I struggled with this book of poetry. I think it’s the reader,me, not the author. These poems are full of emotion ( hurt, sadness, grief, disappointment).  There are a lot of layers to these poems. I always wonder when reading poetry how much does the author draw from her/his own life. I wondered that through the reading of this book.  Though a short book it was a challenging read.
