Rachel Wiley has very different and unique poems on topics I usually don't read about, there's situations that inspire her poems that we usually don't see that often (like a poem for Amy Whinehouse, or a poem about the murder of an elephant, or a poem inspired by a blogger). She has inspired me to try new things in my own poetry and not be scared to go to different and unusual topics. There were many passionate and honest poems, but I want to shout out a few specific titles that I adored a lot. The ones that I mentioned with stars are the ones that elicited an outward emotional response (either I laughed or cried): "Notes on Depression", "Mixed Girl", "Havisham", "Joyce Carol Vincent: Illusionist"*, "No One's"*, "Dry Cake Wishes and Tap Water Dreams"*, "Sleeping Giants, Belly Kisses"*.

In many ways, I could relate to the poems about finding peace within your body and I'm so incredibly happy to reach a point where I can read a poem like Wiley's and feel that it does apply to me. Like dang, if this is what growing old is, I'll absolutely take it. She writes about this so fantastically. In any case, I recently finished Wiley's first collection, Fat Girl Finishing School and liked it so I was excited to read more of her work. Right now, I feel like I can't read anything too heavy (thanks, Econ test) so this felt like a perfect thing to read in between studying.All in all, this is a solid collection. It's engaging and truthful. Wiley's voice comes across as earnest and genuine. I absolutely recommend this if you're in the mood for some positive poetry.
