  • Poetry » Other, General Re: trans-neptunian

    As usual, tremendous imagery, and an almost methodical lyrical-iness. Each image, when read as an autonomous piece of writing, sizzled into my brain. However, this poem is just that--a collection ...

  • Poetry » Lyrical, General Re: Notes on a Plane Crash

    This is not your best, for several reasons. It's very repetitious, and although it works in some poems, this one just smacks of redundancy. The most explicit phrase is "trickle ...

    Hey Suze! I like it! It has a lot of you in it. It's modern, as someone above me said, which kind of makes it somewhat unique, somewhat. Line by ...

    So let's see... It's quite an intriguing poem. I like the short lines--very potent. It's also quite a short poem, which I think serves it quite well. I have a ...

  • Poetry » Dramatic, General Re: Fitzgerald's Brains

    This poem is really hilarious. It feels like it’s half political commentary, half poem. It’s a unique style that I have never read before, somewhat cynical and dark, pessimistic almost, ...
