Review title: I don't know poetry, but I know what I like.
Product review: I was not born to be a poetry reader. I know that. I have always known that. But Emmett Overbey's BROKEN CLEAN AT THE NECK was different for me. Something about it just clicked with me. It resonated, as any work of brilliance should.Often, as Overbey explores what appears to be a pretty nasty break-up in his work, it resonates in a way that makes me uncomfortable. I see, and am forced to scrutinize, parts of my soul that I wish weren't there. Events that I wish had never happened. But I'm better for going through it, better for the soul searching, better for forging ahead.It's really brilliant, visceral, heart-wrenching stuff Overbey has cobbled together from cocktail napkins, take-out receipts, and post-its. I hope there's more coming.
