Can You Sign My Tentacle? by Brandon O'Brien
2.0
Thank you Netgalley for a Read Now copy.
All opinions are my own.
Like many people, the cover drew me in, but after reading the synopsis and seeing the themes and what was to be discussed in this collection, I was even more intrigued.
Although there were some really beautiful and thought provoking pieces included in this, the majority of what I was reading didn't make sense to be and seemed like a lot of random sentences and structure.
This may just be a me problem. I'm still very green to the world of poetry, let alone speculative poetry (which I think this was my first dip into), so I was just incredibly lost.
I really appreciated what the author had to say in the Author's Note. It gave me more understanding on what he wanted to achieve and had it all been more like that, essay form (I understand I'm asking for something completely different) I probably would have gobbled it up more so than I did with this.
Unfortunately, I don't think I'm the intended audience to fully appreciate it.
Pick it up, give it a go and enjoy! >(^_^)<
