not for me. i appreciated how she created the rhythms with language, and i give it its lone star for its sonic quality.

Sugared anger, a lettered métier. Vocation in elocution, phonemes split at the seams. Letterforms clash in a tropical storm, locked in a war with the churning sea. Warped poetry, spewn from lips wet with spit, dried out by the speaking, sere from the speaking. A mouth of a fountain statuette kisses the water. It flows out. It flows in. No one is free. There is no key. Objective is subjective, gazing at all angles, darkened by the shadow of angels. Comprehension is incomprehensible, understanding reprehensible. Find the "F" and feel it. Bite the fruit and peel it. Teeth, yellow teeth. Nails, yellowed finger nails. Our nature is destruction, our art is destruction, our art is destroying, our destruction is understanding. Destruction is a motion. Tear each idea apart.

Challenging but undeniably lucid. “Objects” finds the poetry in-between the words to articulate the poetry in everyday objects.

3/5 - enthralling.

Inesperado. Esa es la mejor palabra con la que puedo describir esta obra. No me atrae la poesía, pero esta obra es diferente a lo que esperaba y diferente a todo lo que leí de poesía anteriormente.
