Has anyone else read "My Baby First Birthday" by Jenny Zhang

I saw her mentioned recently and remembered that she kinda disappeared. I decided to start reading this poetry book she released in 2020 which feels much less remembered than Sour Heart, and I really can't decide if I like it or not. I wouldn't describe the experience of reading the poems as "pleasant" but in most cases that's clearly not the point. It's honestly a little hard to get through because the poems just get so self-conscious and angry, but not in any sort of righteous or thought-provoking way, just bitter. Some parts also feel really "stereotypical contemporary female poet" if that makes any sense.

I was curious if anybody else read this and had any thoughts.
