MINI BOOK REVIEW
[Be With]
An eclectic mix of poems ranging from the author’s experience with his mother’s Alzheimers to his views on the American-Mexian boarder.
I loved Forrest Gander’s play with structure throughout his book. I could feel E.E. Cumming’s presence. My favorite poem is “On a Sentence by Fernanda Melchor.” “¿Qué es lo más cabrón que te ha pasado en la vida?” Gander’s answer: the routine of everyday life and a conversation with a spider. ⚡️4/5
