challenging emotional funny mysterious slow-paced
wong may's poetry is really one of a kind... ann ang really put it into perspective when she says the spaces are the intentional silences, her poems are poems that resist the page itself. her words dance around very freely, and it is shrouded in so much mystery and wonder. it can be "confusing" in the way poetry can leave you dumbfounded and at a loss on how to respond sometimes, but overall it's the kind of read that you need to allow to wash over you like a good shower. i can't help but appreciate this body of work.

"Rot," "Black Rose" and "Concordance" were some of my favorites. It's a dirty mash-up of Creeley and Simic.
