Title: stunning first collection
Product review: I came across Addonizio's poetry purely by accident. I had never heard of her (actually, i remember seeing her name on the poet's companion, but i had never read her poetry), and i ran across her at a reading in west chester, pa. and i was stunned by it. i picked up philosopher's club, and wasn't dissapointed. the poems inside are sensual poems that radiate sexuality. she works just as well in formal verse as she does in free verse. it is hard to believe that this is her first collection. there is nothing like hearing her read her work, the sensuality of the poems truly comes out when she is reading, but since you can't have her reading every day (unless she comes out with a spoken word cd- we can always hope), this collection should be purchased, and to truly experience the poems, read out loud to yourself.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
