rex_libris's review against another edition
4.0
This collection from Aaron Smith captures a quick and strange mind on the page. His poems move effortlessly between subjects, pivoting in a line with a reference to pop or literary culture. There careful weaving into the poem show they are more than tangents but considered reflections. The longing, vulnerability and pathos revealed in his writing are tempered with humour, directness, and sharp satire and build a personal portrait of pain, grief and identity.
