hereisenough's review against another edition
couldn't quite get through this, not my thing. too fluid for me to really wrap my head around. the cover is my favorite part.
lake's review
2.0
I liked Zapruder's work in "Come on All You Ghosts," but this one didn't connect with me. It's been a couple of years since I read "Ghosts," and my tastes must have changed radically.
There are good lines in this book. There's obvious effort, mediation, and thought. However, Zapruder's lack of punctuation and style of spacing made some of the poems difficult to read. And I did feel that there were a lack of literary devices -- sensory imagery, mostly. I'm not saying a poem has to be written the way I like for it to be Good. I just didn't like "Sun Bear."
I would still recommend "Come on All You Ghosts" to anyone who wants to explore Zapruder's writing.
