What can you say about this best selling poetry phenomenon? Maybe best that I don't try. I've worked at getting better at reviewing books but talking about poetry objectively is much harder and I lack the language for it still. This collection isn't for me, the older, married, hetero guy. While I don't feel an accusatory finger pointed at me, it's more an indifferent turning away. Nonetheless it's reassuringly straightforward in its language, almost blunt. Its use of lower case and clipped short sentences accompanied with simple line drawings are perfect for our internet age and ripe for the inevitable popularity backlash.
