in grad school i had this one teacher who read my poems and told me i was holding something back, and i didn't understand what she meant at the time.
#CHESSY NORMILE CRACKED#
i saw her read a month ago and instantly changed my mind, and now i'm trying to come up with words to tell you how this book cracked something open for me.

i liked them a lot, but didn't think i was going to seek out her collection. I first encountered chessy normile's poems in the american poetry review about a year ago. and i've also got the itch to talk about this book real bad right now, so here we go. i saw her read i don't know if i'd stand behind my goodreads rating and claim every poem is a 4-star poem, but this is one hell of a book, and this is what i got right now, with the limited lexicon of goodreads, as far as tools of description go. i first encountered chessy normile's poems in the american poetry review about a year ago.
