Not a big fan of the writing style, especially when applied to the longer poems, but the themes of race and mixed-race identity and how they inform the narrator's feelings of being stagnant or lacking clear direction was interesting to read. "IF YOU ARE ON THIS EARTH YOU ARE OF THIS EARTH"

Shanahan's poetry sings with thoughtful insight and striking originality. Lucid and enjoyable.
