A review by cliffhangerbooks
Written After a Massacre in the Year 2018 by Daniel Borzutzky
dark
emotional
reflective
sad
fast-paced
5.0
“The refugee crisis shifts the border from one part of the world to another
There is a camera watching a caged-up girl as she fries for her parents
There are other children whose screams have more definition
They scream in the right language
They scream with the right intonation
The judges are unsure what screams sound more desperate.”
I don't often read poetry, and I don't know why because I really enjoy it. This book came into my radar when @po posted about it, then I forgot and try to save it three more times on Goodreads…So I went ahead and bought it!
I have nothing but good words about this Little gem. Visceral and thoughtful, Borzutzky takes us through his thoughts and feeling on Zero-sum-capitalism and some truly brilliant Biopolitical arguments. This collection is emotionally heavy but worth it!
