A Complex Accident of Life by Jessica McHugh

dark emotional reflective medium-paced

5.0

Oh, wow!  A COMPLEX ACCIDENT OF LIFE by Jessica McHugh is a stunning collection of BLACKOUT POETRY set to Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.  Whaaaaat?!  You read that correctly!  Each of the 50+ poems within are a result of calling out the words desired and blacking the rest out on a single page.  And some of the pages have fun colors, designs, and patterns instead of just plain boxes and blackout.  It was the third poem in the collection where I just had that jaw-dropping realization of what I had gotten myself into and could not wait to see how McHugh's talent would shine in this unique and new (to me) expression of poetry.  Highly recommended!
