by Kenneth Koch
One of the more wonderful books of prose poetry I have read. Koch's style of address is both beautiful and different. I liked how he used the second person so much, in addressing the subjects that were in the titles of the poems. It's an unusual and difficult mode of expression to pull off successfu...
I wanted to like this, but the charm of it is completely beyond me. Nice idea, but I found the poems for the most part dull. One of those books where I was sure the author was having a great time, but I was left off-wavelength.
