The Gravity of Existence
The Gravity of Existence: Poems | Christina Sng
2 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
A collection of tiny terrors from Bram Stoker Award (R) winner Christina Sng. The Gravity of Existence is a weight lifted, a monster freed, a princess with sneakers, a spell for a better world. From one of the leading voices in dark verse, this collection delights in the misunderstood, putting a new spin on werewolves, basilisks, sirens, ghosts, aliens, pandemics, fairy tales and myths. Sng gives new voice to classic heroines and the result is terrifying, magical, and fantastic.

Christina Sng is a master of packing in a lot of story and emotion into just a few words. These poems were so good! There's mostly speculative fiction, more on the horror and science fiction side than fantasy, though there are a few that are not genre. I'll have to pick up her other books too now!

It‘s certainly a quick read. While I thought the poems were a bit disjointed & didn‘t necessarily go together, there were some that dug deep and truly made me think. Some of the lines in certain poems were simply so lyrical and genius, they definitely stood out. As a whole, I wouldn‘t say that The Gravity of Existence greatly impacted my opinion on poetry, but it was worth the read considering the short length & the handful of beautiful lines!
