Status Updates From All the Names Given: Poems

Well this took such a nosedive it's almost sad.

I don't even know what's going on any longer. Seems the author tries to integrate both personal and sociopolitical topics. The thing is I don't care about topics as it's not compelling. Not at all.

This kinda sucks. It's shaping up to be a premium example of why a lot of modern lit is unattractive to me.

It's too simple. It evokes little emotion. It's boring. Lame.

I've been reading poetry a lot lately as 1000 page novels aren't my jam after suffering a head injury a year ago- my 7th or 8th diagnosed. The (generally) more compact nature of poetry is easier for me to digest.

I'm so excited to read this as this ought to be the first truly contemporary (as in 21st century) poetry collection I've ever read. So far it's a delight!
