Lucifer at the Starlite
Lucifer at the Starlite: Poems | Kim Addonizio
7 posts | 7 read | 1 to read
A lyrically intense collection by the author of Ordinary Genius explores the author's perspectives on a duality of nature that enables juxtapositions of dark and light, good and evil, and suffering and joy, a volume that considers topics ranging from the war in Iraq to the 2004 Asian tsunami.

Pickpick

Dark topics but seems detached and a bit hollow because of it. Even the supposedly personal poems seemed impersonal to me. Wavering between pick and so-so.

A quick read! I found most of these poems to be "average", but a few were absolutely stellar! I debated allowing this one a "Pick" but I think "So-So" is more honest.

Apparently there‘s a #poetrychallenge2018 so I‘m gonna jump in with my required reading for one of the classes I‘m taking this semester 🤓 I don‘t love her stuff, but I do love where she‘s coming from most of the time. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Natasha.C.Barnes Awesome, welcome! We're glad to have you. 7y

“I have no one to tell
that load of laundry I managed
to carry to the washer
has been transferred successfully
to the dryer. I even was able
to make myself coffee and toss the cat‘s toy
onto her carpeted platform
before returning to my bed.”

keggergoldy I'm telling you, poetry is powerful stuff. 7y
kgriffith @keggergoldy I never disbelieved that to be true 💜 7y
