Congratulations to Wish Ronquillo Peacocke on a beautiful work of poetry. The poems are extremely sincere and sometimes contain heartbreaking honesty. In particular, I Iiked “Sharp Blocks” because of its form (it ebbs and flows like a wave) and "Last". I look forward to the next work by this genuine artist.

This is a special poetry collection that, if read in order, will take you along a path of the highs and lows, hopes and doubts of love.
The variety of styles, tone, and texture of the works reveals a poet gifted with an abundance of creativity.

This was a really great discovery, to see this collection of poetry from Wish. I really loved what she did with Sharp Blocks, it's like a poem within a poem within a poem. It's not just a good poem, but the physical layout of the text on the page brings multidimensional meaning - very cool!!

I’m not a huge fan of poems but this book changed my mind. It was very relatable throughout the whole thing. I could read one of the poems and think “oh yeah I’ve felt that way too”. It captures very well the feelings of being in love, being heartbroken and many more. Great book for poetry and other readers alike.
