My Index of Slightly Horrifying Knowledge by Paul Guest
4.0
I’ll be the first to admit I’m not one for Poetry, unless read to me. So to buy a book of poems—for myself—seemed a bit absurd. The title caught me and made me shell out the clams but the poems—well those are keeping it in my bookshelf.
Paul’s style (which remember here, I’m not a poetry gal) is fun. It took me a few poems to get into his rhythm. But once in step, brilliance ensues. I’m sure my favorite poem will change daily, however right now I’m in love with Audio Commentary Track 1. How perfect is the line, “That we all forgot to rig the microphones/really does challenge the audience/to stay with the story by reading lips”
Mixed with humor, snippiness, and emotion, these poems speak to everyone.
