2004, Arielle Greenberg

2.4/5

This one perplexes me. I can't quite see why the poems are finished; they remind me of freewriting. I don't mean that to be as harsh as it sounds. . . the loose feel intrigues me. I get the sense there must be some sort of critique of the politics of tidiness in here--but right now I more think that the critique must be there than feel it. Still reading. . .Having read most of the book now, I'm coming to like it more. One reason: I don't know how to write poems like these. That in itself is enough to keep my attention.
