I liked the content of the poetry, but would have preferred a different format so everything could be discussed more at length.

Not a fan of the writing style. Most of the prose went over my head and I didn’t understand what was being said

4.5

originally was going to settle for a 4.25 rating but reading duplex: cento really blew me away. 

I loved this collection of poems. 

— favorite poems (in no particular order):

duplex: cento
the tradition
the water lillies
entertainment industry
bullet points
riddle
of my fury
