I'm not giving this a star rating because I don't feel it's my place to rate poetry of this nature. But I will share two of my favorite snipets:
"Sometimes I want the language of a non-place,/ but no language is placeless."
"Selfishly, I want a world where no one has abs."

Wow! Some incredibly powerful poems in this collection. Hard-hitting, devastating lines...and a bit of the soft and lush too. Well balanced, interesting draws from historical and contemporary events and sources, unique forms and perspectives. Still maintaining lyricism and beauty even in gritty, cutting poems. Cannot wait to read his backlisted title and anything forthcoming!
