Book of the Week: Alien vs. Predator by Michael Robbins

Do you remember that movie Warriors of Virtue? It was about five anthropomorphic kangaroos battling against the forces of evil, but with some vague Asian mysticism thrown in. At least that's what I remember.

Alien vs. Predator is one of the most exciting books of poetry I've encountered in a long time. Unless you are a] dead, or b] a virtuous marsupial representing one of the five elements, stop what you're doing and go read AVP now. This book is hot.

Full review forthcoming. In the meantime, read the title poem over at The New Yorker.
