The Art of Recklessness: Poetry as Assertive Force and Contradiction by Dean Young
3.0
My favorite part of this was the overall vocabulary; a few words sent me in the right direction with a poem I felt stuck on. Even though the book was fairly short, it felt long and I wish it had been more edited. The stream-of-consciousness at times felt more performative than interesting.
Something I thought multiple times was that some of the prose could benefit from formatting. If not poetry, at least some bullets now and again. And honestly I think the ideal format for this material would be digital, where you click on the part that strikes you and it zooms you over to another related section. I hate Prezi, but that's the visual I had in mind.
