Negative Positive
Title: Slightly disturbing
Review: "I heard the wind rise, and stumbled from my bed, downstairs, out the front door, into the yard. The night sky kept flashing, lightning danced down on its spindly legs" (Hesse, 39) I like the poem " Fields of Flashing Light" because it is very descriptive and uses a good metaphor. Out of the Dust by Karen Hesse, is a compelling, long narrative poem,gruesome which depicts the Dust Bowl in 1934. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to feel depressed and realize what he or she is thankful for. The poetry in the book was exceptional. I enjoyed the book a great deal. Some of the events were a little depressing though. The mother gets burned in a fire and suffers for a few weeks and then finally dies .The father and Billy Jo aren't too close. Billie Jo runs away in search of something, but doesn't find what she is looking for so she returns home. Overall this novel was mediocre. Some of the poems were a little graphic but it was still entertaining
