Beautiful Razor is the first poetry collection I have read from Al Hunter, but I hope it won't be the last. Although the collection is quite short, it is also quite powerful. Each poem seems to seep out grief with every word, and calls so many kinds of loss to mind. The often repetitive lines help to drive that loss and grief home, and leave phrases, words, thoughts lingering in the mind afterward.

I definitely recommend this for anyone looking for a good poetry collection to read. It is definitely worth the little time it takes to read. I definitely hope to read more from Al Hunter, although this is the only collection of his that my local library currently has.
