Apologies that Never Came by Pierre Alex Jeanty

2.0

There are some beautiful lines and images throughout this poetry collection, but the thing that I felt was lacking the entire book, which is the biggest reason I'm only giving this two stars, is subtlety. Poetry is supposed to be the form of the subtle and beautiful, while these poems rushed headlong toward their subjects, often with titles that sucked any chance of mystery out of them. I didn't have to think about any of them for any longer than it took to read them to know what the poet thought or wanted me to think about a subject.
