But when I don't really understand most of these poems, an ongoing narrative string doesn't add anything for me. I liked that there was an ongoing sort-of narrative that connected many of the poems, that is an interesting way to do a collection, I have not experienced it quite like this before. And yeah, this was a miss.įor the most part these poems either fell flat or went over my head (and maybe the ones that I say fell flat eluded me, too). "Rocket Fantastic" ended up with me mostly for the cover, I love this cover, and of course that's not a good reason to choose a book but honestly, it is so hard for me to pick poetry. I choose by what I think of the vague description, at this point try to avoid anything that could be Instagram style poetry, then the title and sometimes the cover. I know what I like when I read it but beforehand I am basically digging around a giant pool of possibilities. I got on top and let it find the tightness It poured across the girls and slicked across Its mouth and made a gong of the canyons. I needed to makeĪn appointment with my anguish, so I couldĬlose by a voice I couldn't see because the sun Because we're all so busyĪren't we? And so broke. Which seems like something I'd make up in a poem And I had made a planĪnd into the evening. Put my hand up to see what they were saying. And also that there was no waterĪnd the sun poured across the women's bodies And lured me outside so I forgot her death entirely.
