“Love itself is an all-consuming affair,” Joe Rosenblatt writes in Bite Me!, a book of poems populated by monsters and beasts characterized by vicious hunger. In these poems, nature itself is monstrous, yet the creatures like “Monster boy” and “Birdman” are sympathetic characters suffering very human problems. This collection suggests that we exist in a terrifying and unpredictable world, and that we rely on monsters and the supernatural to understand lives marked by both sublimity and dread.
