It sounds good alright. Stuart Ross said a turning point for him was that poetry had kinds and kinds were allowed to be goofy, or funny or not pretentious. Poetry can be more than that. Between him and Orr, more enjoyable poetry could erupt.
Orr is coming to Atlanta later this month. I’m looking forward to his reading.
Awesome. I have no idea what I think of his poetry yet, but his prose cuts straight to the heart of the matter. This is a man that has been through a lot and come out the other side not only intact but able to speak about his experience in a compelling and intelligent way. I’d be very interested in your impressions of him when you see him in person.
Glad you enjoyed it. As I’m now almost done reading the book (stalling, in fact, because I don’t want it to end) I may write a longer review at some point. But I’d recommend it to anyone.
