according to one source , she writes about `` drugs , sex , loneliness , laziness , recklessness , self-loathing '' in an `` extremely humorous and warm manner . ''
a review in `` rumpus magazine '' described the book as about `` disconnected sex , anxiety , loneliness , drugs , and depression '' but with `` cool , effervescent , and clear '' observations .
in one poem , according to reviewer emily bludworth de barrios , gonzalez repeats a sequence of words for emphasis , sometimes called in poetry anaphora , to emphasize emotion .
according to reviewer liza darwin in `` nylon magazine '' , gonzalez is part of a `` whole new crop of cool girl poets '' and described her work as `` clever , totally unfiltered , and peppered with twisted insight and refreshing humor . ''
`` dazed & confused magazine '' chose it as their poetry book of the week , averring that `` mira gonzalez is a phenomenon of the same breed as tao lin : she might actually be the only literary social media presence more prolific and more intense . ''
in march 2014 it was announced that gonzalez 's collection would be a finalist for the believer poetry award .
a review described her writing as having `` brutal honesty and minimalist vocabulary and diction . ''
a review in `` economy magazine '' described her poems as having a `` studied laboriousness '' which was `` weirdly compelling . ''
filmmaker and screenwriter lena dunham wrote in `` the guardian '' that gonzalez 's book `` i will never be beautiful enough to make us beautiful together '' was one of her favorite books for 2014 , and that it brings `` experimental poetry into the internet age with dark , distinctly female riffs on ambition , depression and love . ''
gonzalez has been published in vice , hobart , and muumuu house .
flavorwire named her one of `` 23 people who will make you care about poetry in 2013 '' .
in an interview , she described her writing process : gonzalez is the daughter of visual artist lora norton , and the stepdaughter of black flag bassist chuck dukowski .
