War of the Foxes by Richard Siken

3.0

coming to this with crush in mind was an awful idea, even after i had read interviews with siken over how different the books are. he's not wrong! he has this way of ~telling~ so many visuals and strange stories, without the emotional punch to the gut of crush. and i suppose that's what i value most about poetry- if i'm not feeling, it's too hard to care. having said that, the symbolism, folklore, visuals are beautiful and insightful, so i did enjoy this. his mind is amazing. and i couldn't stop thinking about how perfect the cover was.
