This White Lotus Star Just Published Poetry: How Good Is It?

The White Lotus' own Haley Lu Richardson just put out her collection of poetry, titled: I'm Sad and Horny. I heard about this book all the way back in March and had to wait till now to get my hands on it. Was it worth the wait? Well, no, but you probably could've guessed I'd say that. Join me in this video essay as we discuss Richardson's poetry, where it works, and where it doesn't.
