A review by literally_laura
The Place of Broken Things by Alessandro Manzetti, Linda D. Addison
3.0
Horror piqued my interest.
Indie publisher got my attention.
Poetry... Ehhhh we'll see.
I did really enjoy this book, as much as I enjoy any poetry (which is to say, more in an intellectual way than as entertainment). The vague creepiness and foreboding made me want to sit and pick each poem apart for subtle meaning and deeper thrills. They were NOT easy reads. You really need to focus and draw a picture in your mind to pick up on what is happening, but that is to be expected with any good poetry.
