3 points of interest

One of my first points of interests is that this book was very different. A lot of the poems were som etimes right to the point, while on the other hand some of them focused mainly on the descriptors. I really enjoyed the poems from this book, I write poetry and some of the poems that were written i would have never thought about in a million years.
Another thing i noticed was that he wrote about the differences in people for example Blacks vs. whites and females vs. males. I thuoght that was really interesting and his o utake on it in his poetry showed how he felt about it.
Another point is that the book was just filled with interesting things. Each poems started off well, and made me want to keep reading it. His style was descriptive and wonderful.
His poetry was beautiful and this is definitly a book i loved to read.

Points of Interest

One of the poems i read was Dream Boogie, i thought it was beautifully written. I loved how it seemed as if another voice just popped in, during the middle of the poem. I really enjoyed the very last couple of line of the poem, it made it a fun poem to read. I really connected with it, it reminded me of just being younger and having no worries.

I really enjoyed the poem And What Do You Get, by Heather McHugh. I thought it was incredibly interesting. I've never heard a poem phrased in the way she had it. It brought up points that I've never thought about before. How she put her words in the poem i thought was very well done.

The poem Tell Me What You Know About Dismembermant was very confusing to me, i didn't really understand what was going on. The only thing i could pick out was that most of the stuff they talked about was disgusting. It was interesting however how they set the poem up. Almost as if it was a story.
