meant to wake up feeling

aimee herman: meant to wake up feeling
a book of poetry

I felt like I was opening up a body as I read these poems. Picking apart bones and untwisting veins. These poems are written in ways that re-imagine what a page is, what a body is, what gender is/means. I feel enlightened and full of so many questions. I’ve begun to reread to search for the hidden meanings behind each word. Wow.

    I’ve seen this book!! I have to get it!!! I read Aimee’s other one, “to go without blinking”. It was like a textbook. I felt like I was learning so much. Crazy poems! Really touching.
