Reviews

[Tôpher Mills · Rating 5 out of 5]

A complex, engaging, intense and decidedly modernist series of poems. The 12 collections vary in styles and subjects so that you’re never with any one long enough, you’re always wanting more, but are soon dazzled by the next pamphlet. Aaron Kent it a poet who likes to challenge both the reader and himself. Questions abound about place, history, love, perceptions, politics and protests. The writing can be jarring, abstract, direct, confusing and often humorous. This will probably annoy some but delight others. A poetry that crosses the boundaries of sensibility, I dare you to venture in!
