Flies by Michael Dickman
4.0
Michael Dickman lures me in with beautiful imagery, then pushes me away with disturbing imagery. I feel like I had an on-again off-again love affair the whole time I read this. There's a raw quality about these poems that I admire...he doesn't seem to write highfalutin just for the sake of it.
The book makes me feel like I can write. Not because "If this stuff is poetry, mine can be too." More in the way good art inspires. I think that means Dickman is a very good artist indeed.
