Reviews

[Nathaniel Darkish · Rating 2 out of 5]

This was a mixed bag of poetry-- I felt like the quality of poems ranged pretty widely, with the love poetry feeling very cliche while other pieces dealing with political topics and the like being more compelling and well-written. Many of the poems featured the same layout technique (the lines getting smaller and smaller and lining one side of the page or the other) which felt pretty worn out after seeing it in the same collection a dozen plus times.
