The Hungry Ear by Kevin Young

toniclark's review

2.0

It was okay. Many of the poems are well known. There are a few that I really like, but many more that left me feeling annoyed. There are so many poems here that have nothing to do with food or drink. Just because a poem has the word "table" in it does not mean it's about food. The Introduction by Young is rambling and awkward, in need of an editor.

I am very much not a poetry fan...I've only enjoyed two poems before this, Tennyson's The Lady of Shalott and Noyes' The Highwayman...but I loved nearly every poem on this book. The only two I didn't enjoy were by Gertrude Stein, because I couldn't make sense of them.
