My Baby First Birthday by Jenny Zhang

2.0

In an attempt to be subversive and push the boundaries of poetry, Zhang's first collection is interesting but feels overly drawn out. She uses baby language, perhaps a play on the whole "I'm baby" movement, to talk about sex, depression, family, etc. For me, it was almost offputting to see the use of "goo" every other word. Maybe it's just not a collection I gel with.
