Week 51: Cloud of Ink
I like to have one book of poetry on my “currently reading” list at any given time. Mostly because it’s a change of pace, but also because poetry can usually be a one or two page thing that you can read quickly and then fall asleep thinking about. I’ve never stayed up until 2a because I really needed to finish that book of poetry.
Usually I like the images and word play in poetry. However, the poems in “Cloud of Ink” are maybe a little too abstract for me? The poet uses a lot of scientific and mathematical words, which usually tickles my fancy, but in this case has almost always fallen flat. I don’t know if it’s something in me that’s changed or something about this collection. *shrug*
I’m not quite finished with the whole book yet though, so maybe there can still be a pleasant surprise for me.
