oh i'm really interested in this, alienating quatorzains, difficulties 4 us to gesture at & say check out what this guy's doing, what's all that. & so much of Lichtenberg is violence, frothy & angular or subterranean sometimes, it's vividly Iraq, the long tower-shadow. Suburban consciousness? flipside of bernadette's sexy coin? I don't think this is to say he's channeling, talismanic america, whoever she is, but it falls out that way like Gummo. Anyway I'll come back. what a figure. an undergrad ?

There are some poems I really loved in here, and a lot of gestures that resonated with me in some way, but a decent chunk of these weren’t for me

“I attend a class for mouth-to-mouth, a class for hand-to-hand.
I can no longer distinguish between combat and resuscitation.”

“Sensation dissolves into sense through this idle discussion, into a sense that sees itself and is afraid. Still, we must finish our coffee
and partition epiphany
into its formative mistakes.”
i liked some of the poems; some were thought provoking, some were funny. most were just mediocre imo

I've never been a huge fan of titles, either. Bravo, Lerner. This is my favorite collection of your work so far.

Some of the individual poems are decent, but by and large this felt like a mediocre (if less problematic) remix of Berryman’s Dream Songs.

recommended by a dear friend, this collection of poems kept me company on the metro and for that I am greatful. ben lerner has a way of pulling sense out of nonsense and bearing so many sudden truths on the page. would recommend for anyone looking to read something fresh, bright, and punctuated.
