In the Kingdom of the Sea Monkeys: Poems by Campbell McGrath

3.0

I liked a handful of the poems I read from this book but often found the rest to be needlessly wordy. Not that that's always a bad thing but it kind of felt like he was just whipping SAT words into his lines for the sake of it. McGrath has some poignant observations on the medium of poetry as well but sometimes it all gets a bit overstated, in my opinion.
