A few good poems here, and a lot of really bad ones. IMO.

The amazing Patti. Better than her earliest work, this version is really cool because it includes the photos of the time. She's the reason I wanted to move to NY when I was 17. Part of it is this book.

Some of the poems are better than others. I like her use of language, which is evocative and sort of playfully uncomfortable.
