Title: Prose Voiceover
Product review: I orginally wanted to read Nurkse's poetry to find out if he would be a person with whom I'd want to study poetry; I decided that with Nurkse, I would be studying prose with line breaks, and the kind of line breaks which leave prepositions at the start of the lines more times than should be found if one was an editor versed in poetics. The narrative nature of his poetry also lessens the poetic feel of his writing. There are some images that can stick in the mind long after a read, a darkness of sorts; however, some are cliche, like the mother crushing myrtle through her fingers . . . how many times have I read of someone (fill in name) manipulating (fill in verb) an herb (fill in name) with some part of the hand (fill in specific). It might be more interesting if nettles were the herb. Ouch!
