sidrajaved's review against another edition
3.75
I really enjoyed this one, especially the first part, 'in The Pines,' and also the second, 'The Black Trailor.' The collection fell kind of flat for me in the last section 'Hemostatic' which, I would say, was the weakest part of the book. Maybe I am too dumb to understand what Alice Notley is saying in there but I couldn't grasp anything any of the poem conveys. I might have to come back to it sometime because I really wanted to like the entirety of it.
Anyway, my experience of reading 'In The Pines' consisted of vigorously highlighting everything in it. The emotions conveyed are raw, and Notley's writing is full of grief. I loved it.
