Status
Poetry. African American Studies. LGBT Studies. STATUS is a collection of commiserations, wisdoms, placeholders, remembrances, lessons, guiding principles, wives' tales, riddles, puns, purges, time management tools, and helpful hints. It is an amalgamation of reiterations, fortunes, factoids, and foibles. There are spills and freezes. This representation is full of forget-me-nots, deciphers, misfires, and strikes. Somewhere between poem, prompt, and punditry lies Pithos, the quip, the quick, the truth, an emergent poetic form: the Facebook status.

I don't usually pick up poetry, but this one intrigued me. Not just poetry, but aphorisms and ponderings. White's use of language is beautiful and clever. I love good wordplay and this is rife with it.
