Title: Seems Beside the Point to Offer 1-Star, But...
Product review: This book annoyed me. It seems to be trying to do what Rita Dove's excellent earlier Thomas and Beulla did wonderfully. I suppose I should have figured I wouldn't like the book since it was recommended to me along with Louise Gluck's new book and something called Some Ether by Nick Flyn, both books pretty weak and vapid and self-obsessed. I can't recommend the book, even with Ms. Dove's excellent and inspiring introduction. I will check out the next however.
