A review by mmaack24
The Hatred of Poetry by Ben Lerner

Did not finish book. Stopped at 18%.

the style is not for me. while i don’t think it is bad content, it feels quite pretentious, although that is probably unavoidable when talking about poetry as an art form. i could not continue because it was too much work to read; i had to really focus on each clause of each sentence to understand where the author’s thoughts began and ended, and i do not have the patience at this time. i may return to it later.
