Tretheway is masterful with language. And i love the character development, experiencing Ophelia's transformation. Different ending, but I still felt that sense of tragedy of Shakespeare's Ophelia.

A novella-in-verse, lovely and revealing, as the narrator has been revealed and then seeks to unveil for others.

I have read a LOT of books this semester; some books were eh and some kind of sucked, but Trethewey's collection on EJ Bellocq's photographs is AMAZING! This is a book I will not sell back to the University bookstore.

Interesting! She makes poetry a fun and unique experience. Personally, I much prefer Native Guard, but as a resident of New Orleans I definitely found it informative and enjoyable to parse through and place her locales onto my mental map. I always appreciate the combination of historical research and creativity that goes into her work.
