Meditations in an Emergency by Frank O'Hara
1.0
1.5 stars
It had started out moderately promising but then pandered to the baser forms of expression, specifically, fetishizing other ethnicities and the use of coded, racist language as well as the actual slur of "Chinamen". Even beyond the use of problematic language, there was underwhelming quality to the prose that felt uninspired and what I can only describe as proto-edgelord.
(I only picked this up for a concept video idea but honestly, I wonder if this collection is even worth mentioning.)
