I don't read a lot of poetry, so I can't speak too much to Siken's technique, but I found his words extremely moving.

richard siken said “you could drown in those eyes, i said / so it’s summer, so it’s suicide / we’re helpless in sleep and struggling at the bottom of the pool” and we just fucking let him????
