To Drown as a Cure for Thirst by Blake Auden is a collection of poems that uses common feelings as a way to connect with the reader.

I am in the middle on this collection and being unfamiliar with his other work I can't compare it to what he has previously done. I found that while he touches on topics most of us have experienced, from love to grief, I wasn't moved by how he expressed his ideas. It isn't that it was bad poetry, some of it is good, but it just didn't stand out for me. Usually I can find a poem or two that really got to me. Not this time. A few made me think about moments in my past, which is a good thing for poetry to do, but it didn't offer me new insight or appreciation, just a reminder.

I didn't bother looking up anything he may have online, I just didn't care enough, but he apparently has a big social media presence, so I would suggest looking him up and seeing if anything connects with you. If so, then this may well be a good collection for you. Also, if you simply like to find poets you don't yet know, this is not a bad collection and may well speak more to you than it did to me.

Reviewed from a copy made available by the publisher via NetGalley.

"i think the darkest parts
of anxiety
are a little like that:

it isn't there
and then it is"

Thank you NetGalley and Central Avenue Publishing for the chance to read and review To Drown as a Cure for Thirst by Blade Auden!

Long story short; I loved this book, and its going into my top reads of 2022 shelf! I'm also going to have to check out the rest of Blake Audens books! This felt like a well thought out collection, with all the pieces consistently good!
