The History of Forgetting by Lawrence Raab

4.0

I don't usually read poetry collections of single authors but I'm glad I made an exception for this book of poems by Lawrence Raab. Some of them fell flat on my ears, but there were many that really struck a chord with me. At first I personally did not like the poems which were just continuations of quotes, but then I saw that said poems couldn't work without the quotes and actually grew beyond the choice lines at the beginning of each one. I'm looking forward to reading more of Raab's works - just not right away.
