Title: Doesn't take much to get called poetry these days, huh?
Review: What's with all these 2-5 line poems taking up a whole page on a book? I used to try that trick in school, you know... write bigger and hopefully the teacher will give you credit for having written a 12 page essay which really should have taken up 6 pages.This book is an insult to those who have studied real poetry, and appreciate real poetry. I am glad this was a borrowed book. All it takes is a record deal and a few whiny angsty lines on a page and bada-bing... "poetry".I have nothing against modern poetry in general, and the creativity and the lack of rigidity in poems these days, but how low do you have to sink? There are still fresh ideas left in the world, and poetry to be written about it.If you absolutely must see these poems, use your library card, not your wallet.
Is the review positive or negative?
