Title: Let's be honest
Review: Let's be honest: Most poetry in contemporary America is really prose poetry, it just doesn't look that way. Most poems are just a paragraph disemboweled and then strung out down the page -- there seems to be little reason for line breaks and enjambment. Shumate dispenses with the pretense of all that, and he simply tells a quick story or "paints" an arresting image. Fanciful and fun.
