Status Updates From bury it

in the old country
women buried

what little we had
in the dirt & hoped

it would make more
better on earth.

Finished section 1: Rope. Looking forward to comparing and synthesizing with the following sections. Want to explore why and how the poems are separated into sections. Once again feeling the need to annotate on the pages. Noting a running theme of a kind of disassociation by the speaker(s) (not necessarily the author, but probably) across the different poems.

Finally reading, 6 years after picking it up in the Harvard Book Store. Read through the first few poems and already thinking I need to buy it instead of just having this copy from the library. I need to mark it up, yknow? I think I find it frustrating to read poetry when I don’t have people to analyze it with

3.5/5. Some poems are extremely powerful, some of them overwrought, some of them funny. I don’t know who I could ever recommend this to.

oooh v good

book 22!
