The Raft

Cain Rose Up: 1/5
Genuinely what the fuck

Paranoid: A Chant

The Monkey. 3/5
Creepy but didn’t wow me

Paranoid a chant: interesting and effective; was this related to jfk at all? I’m not very knowledgeable in poetry but I don’t think this is a great poem, but it does feel like you’re in the mind of a conspiracy theorist so I think it works. Would grind if it went on longer but luckily it doesn’t. Doesn’t really have much of a punch either. But it’s fun.

The wedding gig: i REALLY liked this one. The story was interesting, the writing style felt in tone with the time without being caricature. It’s interesting to see king try to reckon with his racism and hatred of fat people here while still fully leaning in. Like, I think he does an interesting thing with both here, it’s just I’ve read his other work.
