Body, they blame you for all things and they seek in the body what does not live in the body!!!!!!!!

I don't love reviewing poetry because I think you just need to experience it for yourself. Nothing I say will match the power of this collection of connected poems about the way we are complacent in the face of what we should be in arms about. Just an overall absolutely beautiful and powerful commentary on oppression, military violence, and resistance. WOW.

A beautiful work of poems. Words are hard to describe this work, so maybe it’s best you just read it for yourself.
