[Jason · Rating 4 out of 5]

Such a visual book of poetry, so much violent and sexual imagery....Jam is used at times. It's one of those weird things but I could handle all that weirdness but as soon as tuna got mentioned I pulled a face and went eeew!

There are some fantastic lines in this collection:

"Spaghetti straps slipping off bloody shoulders"

And every line in Dollophile are my favourites, I love that poem.

I highly recommend this book unless you have a fear of tuna. (you can read for free using the link in the books description)

I like Juliet Cook's gruesome Barbie doll imagery, whatwith the candy-coated maggots and the like. I do think this brand of bloody beauty queen criticism was more fitting of 2008 when it was published, though. Still great in terms of poetry.
