I’m finally an accomplished supernatural fan /j

I don’t know enough about poetry to really say anything about this but it was nice I guess

i ask people if they’ve read this and that’s how i determine whether they’re mentally ill and gay or not

Not exactly my style of poetry, but some great lines within it.

read originally through receiving it in the post from a friend in germany. we don't talk anymore, but i still think of her when i read it; when we would read each other poems. the poems are still as gorgeous as they once were. i recommend this to anyone with even the slightest interest in poetry.

heartbreakingly beautiful. i love the way that louise glück writes about siken’s writing in the forward (introduction? not sure). she says all i could ever say about the powerful obsession and frantic energy that drives siken’s work. each poem demands to be read, devours the reader just as it is devoured. “you are jeff” is a highlight of course. def want to read more of his work

1.5 - there were a few poems that i liked but mostly it just confirmed that modern poetry really isn’t for me.
