4.0

In past collections, Douglas Kearney has explored the frontiers of performative typography, where poetry is in a sense actually performed on the page. Sho is a bit of a departure in that it is a more straightforward work with verses that are, for me, more accessible. This works well because many of the poems in this collection are outstanding and the cleaner lines allow the word play and syntax and rhythm to shine.
