"Sotto Voce: Soft Voice" explores the general confusion of what it is to be a flawed human today. Pop culture references, mythical beasts, and the rough terrain that is today's interpretation of love and romance weave through the speaker's free verse. With influences of contemporary poets such as Zachary Schomburg and Brenda Hillman, Klein employs imagery to analyze her place in a world where she is frightened of everything. Self-deprecating and observational humor add relatability; especially to those who can only view society from afar. In conclusion, the speaker assures readers that it is okay to be different and that those differences can even be beautiful if they choose to see them that way. "It's not easy being a vulnerable mess" Klein agrees, but if the audience lets their imaginations loose, "you'll have something beautiful on your hands," indeed.
