Losing to Anorexia by Adela Lily
Published August 2024
★★
Short, thematic, rhyme-y poems. Too much focus on finding a rhyme for my tastes. May be written by a teenager, which is interesting—I'm never sure whether to laud self-published teenagers for their initiative or grouse, like the not-quite-elder millennial that I am, that in my day teenagers didn't try to monetize our angsty poetry; we either limited it to our diaries or only shared it on LiveJournal to audiences of, like...three. Can I do both? In any case, I hope this was cathartic to write.
