A Sand Book by Ariana Reines

5.0

Seriously this may be the best book of American poetry published during my life time.

Absolutely unbelievable in terms of scope, content, language, focus, fun, and everything else that makes a book of poems memorable and worth reading--the heft of this book should encourage readers--it is massive and reads like it.

Lots of diversity in language and structure, which felt refreshing in today's poetry world.

Lots of sweeping content--great travel writing, great relationship stuff, great political stuff, great personal stuff, awesome observational stuff--this book honestly has it all.

Strongly recommended for everyone with even a passing interest in poetry.
