The Breakbeat Poets Vol. 4: Latinext by
3.0
Poetry is something I have prioritized, because for a long time I didn't particularly enjoy it. But as I went looking for poems I actually did like, I found myself connecting with more and more of them.
That's kind of how I felt reading this. Most of the poems were very nice, but a number of them were beyond my understanding. I think I'm also not keen on prose poetry – the words start to run together and when my brain goes "WALL OF TEXT" it's stressful.
I might have enjoyed this more if I'd just kind of read a few poems at a time here and there, rather than trying to read through it. I may do that at some point.
Also, the contributor bios were at the back. I wished they'd have been with their poems, and included more about how they got interested in poetry and what they were most passionate about. It was kind of hard to flip back and forth to figure out who had written what with the ebook version, as I'm not super familiar with the format.
