I purchased this collection on a whim. It was just sitting there on the shelf, and I thumbed through it and saw some interesting pieces with strong word choice. I bought it. I read it. It has been sitting on my shelf ever since. It is a fine collection, but it didn't really speak to me. There was the occasional bit of edginess, but overall, it was a bit more soft and pretty than the work that usually sparks my imagination. A favorite snippet: Pierced tongue. Do-it-yourself lisp. What is this? Penitence? Native wisdom? Mutilation? or signal: I'll do anything. ~Excerpt from "Five Urban Love Songs - II. San Francisco" | ||
