Poetry Readers Challenge discussion

This is making its way onto a number of "best of" lists for the year, including Time Magazine and the New York Times.
I read it a couple months ago and loved it - the individual poems, the themes and details and the concept.
On the back of the book it says, "When someone you love dies, everything dies." So Chang writes obituaries for everything that dies when she loses her parents, one to death, the other to dementia. The clock, optimism, the car, blame, secrets, and even Chang herself die. As she writes, "her imagination lived beyond that day though."
With few exceptions, each poem is laid out on the page as if it were an obituary in a newspaper, a strip of text with the identity of the deceased.
Highly recommended!

I loved the obits. But failed completely at even reading the middle section. I have little patience for poems that are splattered all over the page.

Sarah, you made me want to read this, but Ruth mentions one of my poetry peeves. I understand that the form can add meaning, but not when it frustrates the reader to the point of not going on. My library isn't so good at stocking poetry, but checking this out would be the ideal solution to my dilemma.
