Please Do Not Touch This Exhibit by Jen Campbell

3.0

Only seems fitting that my final read of the year be (short, quick) one I’ve had checked out from the library for most of it, constantly renewing but never rereading. I think my mid reaction to this is my own fault, as I’d built up expectations based on reviews I’d read but not on anything else. While almost every poem is a metaphor still, I was expecting a much more fantastical approach to story telling that I felt just wasn’t really there. 

I should also mention that I can’t relate to a lot of the stories Jen is telling in this, so it’s possible that’s why the poems didn’t hit as hard for me as they may have for someone else.
