Title: A Good Story Might Not Be Poetry
Review: Vazirani does a good job of opening a story in bursts and fragments, but I'm not sure it amounts to poetry. The flavor of the exotic seems often to be the real reason for these poems to exist, but they seem to be more about cultural migration than about language. The narrators of her poems seem such thoroughgoing materialists, it's hard to give them the sympathy the author requests.
