I got this book from the New Book shelf at the Newport Beach Public Library, which continues to provide amazing poetry. I read most of it in the morning with Cody laying on my chest–he was asleep, I was not.

I really liked this poem. I liked the Author photo:

I liked th congested language, the lack of poetic convention, the very SF vibe of the book. It did not read like academic poetry to me at all–it was fast and subtle and full of meaning.

The poems themselves were all of a similar language with similar theme (which may not be the right word), but the style was very very unique through out the book.

I plan to get Powell’s earlier books–a very good collection of poems.
