Please by Jericho Brown

Jericho recently talked about the need for readers to write reviews, and I don't often remember to post reviews of poetry books, so that was a helpful nudge.

This volume grabs you by the throat and places a hand on your chest to feel your beating heart. LISTEN, this book says. Read the poems aloud to yourself, feel their syncopated eroticism, take a deep breath.
