Review title: Coy, but beneath it all slick and not felt
Product review: Take the following passages from a poem as examples:"and two men on some stools, womanless, elbowsslid together, cardboard hats reading "ew Yea"""A girl down there showing her teeth toa man...preg again or out of dope or don't hit meor don't leave me or what will I do"This is poetry about being down and out by someone who has probably only seen it from a safe vantage trying to fake it and be a little "too cool." This revels in the sensational, does a little pseudo-feminist flaunting, which some might find "liberating" and others titillating. But mostly this slums, sometimes quite cleverly, but always with a cool distance. I don't believe the sympathy for others, and suspect the poet doesn't deep down either. I found the more introspective pieces a little more honest, but in the end I guess overall I find the pathos too easy, too borrowed and the underlying voyeurism in this a little vexing. I guess I found myself in the end not convinced.
