A. J’s Reviews > Collected Poems: With Notes Toward the Memoirs > Status Update

Would have preferred not to see so many revisions of the same poems.

Commentary on poems are always funny to me. It's seems to me that it is sometimes people trying to make sense of nonsense. Does every poem have to have deep meaning? Maybe the author just liked the way the words sounded.

"Ah my God, what is it that we love! This flesh laid on us like a wrinkled glove?"

I'm not sure why some of these poems are supposed to be so scandalous. Would like to take more in-depth poetry classes.

For some reason I wasn't expecting rhyming poems. I like them, just surprised.
