A review by meghanc303
The Dead Eat Everything by Michael Mlekoday

4.0

That scope of these poems manages to be at once broad--an examination of a city--and also heartbreakingly specific--a singular life. Mlekoday blew me away with the entire collection. this is not just a collection with a few standouts, but one that works as a whole, like a beautiful album. Specially recommended: "Don't ask why I stopped believing in magic," "the motherland," "playing dead means different things to different people."
