A review by jcschlotfelt2313
Fort Red Border by Kiki Petrosino

4.0

Two of the three sections in this collection were revelatory to me: reigniting my love of language, a well-turned phrase, of poetry, of writing, of thinking about my place in the world, and the power of words. The section about the narrator's relationship with Robert Redford and the section titled 'Valentine' were reread twice each, exposing and revealing new wonders. Fort Red Border is more than worth it for these 2/3.
I didn't dislike the middle third, but it left me at a distance. Maybe because I was so thoroughly won over by the first and third portions, some let down was natural.
