After Hours

by Darrell Epp

In Darrell Epp's latest collection After Hours, our hero awaits Dorothee's return, while frankensteins invade Canada. Poltergeists patrol the hollowed—out manufacturing sector. The future's a let—down; contingency plans are hastily constructed. Every moment's an apocalypse as divine grace pummels Metropolis like a blizzard of fists.

Reviews

[James · Rating 4 out of 5]

As I have said in previous reviews of poetry books, they can be difficult to review since they are a highly personal form of expression. It's not "good" or "bad", it's like trying to rate how well someone cried. In addition, I am not much of a poetry buff, but their were some poems in this book I really enjoyed.

There were many beautiful phrases throughout, such as "stupidity's ubiquity", from Common Elements (I must remember that one). There are some thought provoking points as well, for instance in Lazy, "'this present moment' dies before you finish saying it", is a beautiful line. Then there are some sad lines, like in the poem Suicide, "the good thing about not having friends is not having to share."

Overall I found this to be a solid book of poetry.

I received this book for free through Goodreads First-Reads.
