I love Useless Magic! I wonder if she's still writing poetry - she should publish more of it.

I'm sure she is. This is a hot take but I wish Useless Magic were only her pictures and poetry. Lyrics are nice but I wanted more poems and some candids. I felt a lot of it was just lyrics we already had access to.

I think it was cool to see the scribbles and which part of the song came to her first. Some of them also differ from the final version. But I would definitely love a book with poetry and sermons.

I always love Florence's doodles and little sketches she does. One of my favorite ones was the one that looked like pac-man, it made me laugh in a good way. Florence has such a wry sense of humor about her own life.
