I didn't mean to read this cover to cover but I did. I was just here because I was trying to find the " coconut nipple poem." It sounded very intriguing to me. I was trying to find that, bounce and read other books instead. But I was hooked and kept reading.
I've never been a good poem reader and the collection of poems I've read in my life is almost next to nothing, a surprise I like this collection. Somehow, I felt connected how JGV play with words and form of his poems, some of it. I don't mind the commas.
If it weren't for the last part, linguistics, I'd give this 5 stars. I mean he seemed so serious about his poetry and his system how he created his craft and how he graduated 3 times now in literature after doing short short stories and poetry, so the last part of this collection sounded ridiculous to me. It was written like every modern two-liner poetry bestseller you see on bookstores today albeit some of the last poems are kind of funny unironically. Maybe it's satire; he meant that part to be what he called Peotry (bad poetry). If he did, then I'm fooled.

SIS WBK,, but i’m not going to pretend like i didn’t skim through the little aphorisms on the end because of how fleeting they are. nevertheless, doveglion’s work is stunningly intimate, sensual, and brilliant at humanizing divinity. how he fraternizes with god is honestly so daring and it makes sense. definitely an underrated poet—underrated for being a poc in an american literary scene dominated by white men in his time, and because he was not as political as other literary giants in filo history.
