Siken's poetry is full of both panic and love; "Crush" encapsulates both of these feelings perfectly. I could feel the heartbreak in his words as he tries to love and live as a gay man. It's beautifully visceral. Even the format of his poems are staggering.
"Crush" is what you should read if you have not felt how powerful poetry can be. An absolutely stunning and beautiful collection. I will never be the same.
