Dancing on the Grave of a Son of a Bitch: The Complete Motorcycle Betrayal Poems by Diane Wakoski

emotional reflective sad

3.5

I am not well versed in poetry, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. These felt more like short stories than what you would view as the traditional poem. Don't get me wrong, it's still very much poetry, but it's not setup how you would expect. 

There were definitely some hits here, and there were several times where I highlighted some lines that I felt were very impactful. Unfortunately, this collection is ridiculously repetitive. I really just wanted to tell the author, "Girl ! These men are not that important !" She really made it seem like her entire life and being revolved around men, and instead of the feeling I thought I was going to get I just felt sad for her.
