American Melancholy: Poems by Joyce Carol Oates

2.0

Don't get me wrong, I love Joyce Carol Oates. She can do marvellous things with language and story, but this poetry collection just didn't hit for me. Can't put it down to much more than personal taste.

However, some standouts:
This is Not a Poem
The Blessing
Palliative
