DisConnected: Poems & Stories of Connection and Otherwise by Wilder, Tyler Knott Gregson, Noah Milligan, Michelle Halket, K.Y. Robinson, Courtney Peppernell, Raquel Franco, N.L. Shompole, Caitlyn Siehl, Alicia Cook, Komal Kapoor

2.0

In this collection, 12 writers contributed poems, and then each one wrote a story using a line from a different writer’s poem. The result is very uneven. None of the works particularly stand out, and the stories’ incorporations of lines from the poems—which are bolded in the stories—are forced and awkward. I’d rather have read more work from each author without the gimmicky structure of the collection.
