A review by thevicarslice
Stones by Kevin Young

3.0

This collection is spare at times, meandering, and plays with the sound of language. Like the title suggests, these poems are stones, small, self contained, and just weighty enough. Some look similar to others, some are wildly different from the rest, but they're all poetic and of a theme. There are glimpses of youth, family, the present moment, but unfortunately the through line is just not strong.
