I think I’m going to reread this or at least pack it in my bag whenever I attend a male-centric poetry gathering. I think I want to send this to everyone I know who might find it subtly offensive to their nerves- so that they may understand why I sometimes bristle in turn at the canon they love.

Excellent poem about the multiplicities of masculinism, experiential poetics, and dissipated narrative. The utility of ornament. Complicated, thorny, multiple.

for that "i didn't like a book of poetry and now i'm wondering if it's me not getting it or the book of poetry just being not so great" feeling

I went in and out of this text unsure what it was really trying to say about the men and the people living inside them but the language and play proved intriguing enough that I'd read it again trying to find out. Next time with a bottle or two of hydromel!
