A review by blueberryhotel
Crush by Richard Siken

dark emotional mysterious reflective fast-paced

5.0

heartbreakingly beautiful. i love the way that louise glück writes about siken’s writing in the forward (introduction? not sure). she says all i could ever say about the powerful obsession and frantic energy that drives siken’s work. each poem demands to be read, devours the reader just as it is devoured. “you are jeff” is a highlight of course. def want to read more of his work
