Monkey Ranch by Julie Bruck

grayjay's review

4.0

Bruck succeeds at holding together the various worries, tensions, and confusions of everyday life—a life where we keep on going through our lives with horror and dear all around us. In my favourite poem, "Live News Feed", the speaker suffers a mundane conversation with her unconcerned father and his girlfriend, while she watches news unfold of a shooting in her mother's neighbourhood.
