Things I Learned In The Night by Emily Juniper/Byrnes

Detailing the joys of childhood with no ties in life, first love, the feeling and impact it has, joy and questioning, the brutal realities of aging and self love as we judge ourselves all the way through growing through life. More Unhelpful Help was an absolutely gutting poem about friendship, love and betrayal which was heartbreaking to read but shows strength in the beautiful writing detailing openly and honestly how hard it can effect you. Poems including references to Bon Iver and Steinbeck to me were so relatable especially feeling like Lennie after losing love in any way, it can be hard to feel understood in trying and ultimately this collection made me feel like the depths of my mind had been explored, living up to the collections title, it definitely made me feel reflective at night.
