Predatory

by Glenn Shaheen

WINNER OF THE 2010 AGNES LYNCH STARRETT POETRY PRIZE

“Glenn Shaheen is claiming new ground for American poetry. His poems are about the nightmares of information overload, collapsing infrastructure, ubiquitous violence, and other ills of late empire. The subjects are not happy, but Shaheen's clear vision and crisp—often witty—language offer the pleasures of surprise, discovery, and recognition.”
—Ed Ochester

the topics are on point, and of my interests; yet i couldn't find myself getting into the poems. i am unclear why, and imagine it is more with me than not. and so will have to come back at a future date again.

I’m sure a lot of these poems had significant meaning behind them, I just think I didn’t have the mental capacity to put together all the pieces. A lot of these seemed very convoluted and took random turns that I couldn’t follow. Oh well 🤷🏻‍♂️

I admit to bias and being blinded by bias and not caring.

Excellent Poet

[Tom · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very cohesive, and subtly political without being didactic. I love how these poems echo off of one another.
