I review Undercastle by Feliz Lucia Molina

Go read my review of Undercastle in The Rumpus, and then go scoop it up!

A little taste: "Undercastle stamps its passport with poems titled “Paris, Las Vegas”, “Ibiza”, “Saudi Arabian Dream Machine”, “Italy Italy”, “Buenos Aires” and “Blockbuster Operator in Manila,” and name-checks many other cities; in time, its territory ranges from the ‘90s to the present. People, words, habits and products who share this time-territory are young, but not as young as we once were; we may not know more, but it seems true to say that we know differently."

Review of origin of by Kiely Sweatt

My review of Kiely Sweatt's origin of is up at Coldfront.

A little taste: "The speaker may lust for a 'Frenchman with a thick accent' or feel an addict’s hunger, but the relative terseness and tight surface of the poems as a group offer a resistance and a desire to get the moment of intensity in and over with."

Review: Rise in the Fall by Ana Božičević

I reviewed Rise in the Fall by Ana Božičević for the Small Press Book Review.

You should check out the other reviews there as well, and the other books reviewed there.

I didn't say this in the review so I'll say it here: I bought this book at AWP and then sat down on one of those half-hassock, half-planter things in the lobby and read it all the way through. I thought about what I would probably have to destroy and was still reluctant to destroy. Thanks, Ana, for writing this book.
