Eric Phetteplace’s Reviews > Poems, 1962-2012 > Status Update

Loved the early books, their terse diction & emotion, striking lines, but the middle period I'm in is really uninteresting. Less striking lines, positively boring mythological poems, simple stories, not nearly as enigmatic or deep. Almost every poem in Ararat is about death and family. I'm hoping she changes styles again because it's getting tedious.
