A review by alexandraidonea
Crush by Richard Siken

5.0

Siken is my favourite poet, and maybe for all the wrong reasons - because he's epic, because he's cyclical, because every word drips with passion and desertion and the quest to understand one's identity. This is a remarkable collection. I'd never read all of his poems together in one place before, in proper order - and I hear there's another collection out that I'll have to delve into when I have the wherewithal.
