if there's one thing i'm going to do... it's read a weird ass book!!! i love weird ass books. thank you to liv for giving me this weird ass book for christmas. u know me so well

this book may legitimately take me a month to read. making connections to frankenstein, 1950s housewives, etc etc…

mother mary andrew sucks wtf

“everything was a potential poem”

brooooooo

yes

omg SOOOO enjoying this. brilliant

i often read poetry collections out of order, so it's tricky to quantify it for goodreads. DAMN do i love me some bernadette mayer. so many winter poems, so many funny digs at new england

loved her essay on Stanley Kunitz. also loved "The Dreamer and the Watcher." great perspectives on myths and poetry - myth is not formula.

-decay/disease
-infestation
-sick vs. well
-numbness
-relationships btwn men and women; henry's friend circle tends to view women as mother-figures or otherwise views them through madonna/whore complex
-writing vs. not writing
-temptation, seduction

do not read this book if you are afraid of bugs. good lord.
