There was more hype about this book for me than what I found there to be in it. Fox does more persona poetry than anything else, which says to me that he's not truly comfortable being himself or exposing who he is (which is unfortunate, since writing/poetry is supposed to be a release of oneself, in my opinion). There were gem phrases sprinkled throughout the book; so, I wouldn't write off Fox as a poet altogether. I would be interested to see what he comes out with next.

Open and raw spoken word poetry. Not always my cup of tea, but some wonderful moments and a cathartic use of language.

Ragan Fox is a spoken word poet, so seeing his work written down is somewhat refreshing, somewhat confusing. I delight in reading Fox's poetry because he has something for any mood in these pages.
