snowmaiden's review
3.0
Somehow I bought this without realizing it was a book of prose poems, which I normally don’t enjoy at all. The fact that I actually enjoyed some of these is a sign that it’s probably pretty good! I’ll pass this book along to someone who’ll be able to get more out of it than I did.

4.0
The first at least 8 poems in this book are perfect. Perfect after perfect after perfect. All dense prose poems that operate almost wholly on juxtaposition (a term I taught my creative writing kids--and which they thought I made up) and every one clicks. My only small complaint is that after 2/3 of a book of dense prose poems, my brain kind of tapped out and stopped wanting to make connections.
