A review by charlesvandoren
Pet Sounds by Stephanie Young

4.0

"Bangs wrote when the singer hurts him
we do too. I don't know, Madame George seems
incredibly hot to me. in charge of the room.
it makes more sense when she says
be cool be cool I think that it's the cops
not lord have mercy in Astral Weeks
she's helpless, acted upon. another reason
The Sweet Inspirations version, ok
I just want to keep saying that
until it's a thing, is vastly superior"

Truly LOVE the takedown of Greil Marcus by poetry - something I was not expecting to read in any poetry collection. As much as Van Morrison as a human makes me NAH, goddammit, Madame George! Thank you, Stephanie Young. And to all you know-it-all men out there - take a hike. Read some poetry.
