You once loved me
Cherished me
More than I deserved...
This is my first time reading Lisa M. Gott.
Contemplations is a great little collection of poems and stories. There is more fiction than poetry in the collection. I thought the stories were excellent but I did prefer the poems. I could happily have read dozens more poems. Gott writes the sort of poems I love to read. Every poem was striking and memorable. I was very impressed by the quality of the stories as well. They were beautiful, disturbing and haunting. My jaw hit the floor page after page. My favourite poems and stories are Broken, The Things You Keep to Yourself, Beautiful Monster, Skipping Stones, A Performance To Remember and Scarred. Contemplations is packed with great stuff from a great writer. Highly recommended. I need to read more of this woman's work.
