Her work is sending me back to the drawing board.

Wonderful poetry…

Technical innovation and oddity coupled with structure and grace formality in common block stanza (apparently occasionally, or) seeded when seen needed, grown.

I got a copy of her book ‘Swarm’ and it’s making my nose bleed and my eyes cross my mind more than twice…it’s so oddly lined and beautiful, but I can’t say why. Can’t finger it. Tense. Flowing. Difficult enough to be love.

“What’s it about?”

I don’t really know, but I love it!

Similar to a graph of thought made thorough (less thorough) through a sieve of diction. Did I say similar? It is.

Looking forward to reading more of her work.

Pulitzer winner, too.

Signing out,

rainboi.
