      Fall 2021 (October);
      ~ Netgalley Arc

      Thank you to Noor Unnahar, Andrews McMeel Publishing, and Netgalley for this free arc of New Names for Lost Things for a free review.

      After falling hard in yesterday i was the moon, which was gifted to me by a friend who knew I would find it impossible to resist, I absolutely couldn't hesitate when I saw another Unnahar volume was being released. I'm so glad to say that having gotten my hands on this early, the whole volume is gorgeous.

      I love every single poem in this and found myself wanting to write notes in the sides again. The white and black art that scatters through specific spaces between sets of poems offsets and parallels the messages of the words perfectly.
