Guy's got a voice. A very dynamic voice. I like it. Sometimes the form got in the way of the enjoyment for me, but the styles employed are so diverse that there's always something to keep reading for.

there are definitely some solid poems in here, but the 40 page michael jackson poem at the end was an unpleasant and bizarre turn that soured the experience for me.

A solid book. There are lines in here that make me jealous. And there is a lyricism that I can’t begin to attempt to emulate. That being said, I wish the poems were more to the point and didn’t have me work so hard. But the work is rewarded.
