The poetry felt really repetitive to me. Maybe, lyric poetry is not my thing as some of these poems are actual songs taken from the author's albums and others were meant to be. However, I found three poems that I did like, hence the rating of two stars for the book. I enjoyed Mary C. Brown and the Hollywood Sign [pg.89], For Sylvia Who Killed Herself in 1963 [pg.100] the repetition in the last stanza was good and Scared to be Alone [pg.106]. I don't have much else to say about this one, I can't recommend it although the three poems I mention are worth checking out if you get the chance. ( )
