"When something becomes ash,
There is nothing you can do to turn it back.
About this, even diamonds do not lie."
I've decided to mix it up and review a poetry collection tonight. And with good reason, this book is spectacular! This was my first experience with this poet and I am officially a fan. In fact, I am looking forward to purchasing more of his works soon. Dean Young has published around a dozen books and has been featured in numerous magazines and internet poetry sites.
This particular work not only has amazing cover art (as you can see) but is a very lively read. A surreal collection that paints a fine line between being delightfully playfully and dark. It's all over the place, to say the least. I especially enjoyed the following poems: Alarm Clock, True/False, Elegy on toy Piano, and Ghost Grease (which starts off with maybe my favorite line from the eentire book "It's eschatology kegger night")
If you are a poetry lover (or you would like to be one) I strongly recommend this book!
