4.0
Like a thunderstorm, there’s always action in these poems, but quite often it is muted or diminished by distance. Flashes and great noises leap that distance intermittently, but much of this book seems to be taking place at a level I can’t quite reach nor precisely locate.

It Must Be Shameless
Apart disclaimed wicked pea, split soft skin
of the principle princess, who writhes,
a little blood passes her perineum every night,
grey linen sheets flax talisman plot luxe
to strip and scrub all gore
a plain bar of secret white soap
it is a pine tree, it is an orange blossom, it is a rose hip
under a baby tongue, blood cuts
punisher, swear it closed, closes it
She's amazing. Read another excerpt here.
