Title: To repel stupid reviews
Review: Do Not Believe The Previous Reviewer. Of course this book is words, it's a book! Young, whose first book Most Way Home was impressive if uneven, has taken quite a leap forward in his poetic life. Basquiat morphs into something other than his paintings, he becomes Young's poems, he becomes a monster and a genius, he becomes something close to mythic.This is not a picture book, you can't read poetry expecting to see images of the dead man's paintings, if you only want to read a description go and get a gallery catalogue!Instead, here, immerse yourself in Kevin Young, a poet who imagines America through the prism of a single, talented young man. A masterful work (that I was lucky enough to see just before its publication, lucky me!). Cheers.
