Antipoems: How to Look Better & Feel Great by Nicanor Parra

5.0

I loved this book. It's cheeky and hilarious and sets the world of "oh so serious I'm a poet who feels" right on its ear. Mr. Parra writes very short pieces with skill and grace and obviously enjoys throwing punches - he's refreshing, and it feels so good to read poetry that makes you laugh. He kind of reminds me of Jim Harrison, only a little less the curmudgeon.
