Title: Young poems by a young poet.
Review: After reading the first lovely poem in this book, I was disappointed to find page after page of an indistinct, vaguely expressed voice. The overall tone is quiet and delicate and while there are moments when a gentle lyric almost shines, for the most part this is a poet who has yet to distinguish herself. It is clear that Syzbist is still under the sway of her influences -- early Jorie Graham, Emily Dickinson, Fanny Howe, Wallace Stevens. All great influences. However, rather than depend on the work of her teachers to lead her poems, this young poet needs to use her hard-earned study to find her own direction.
