Hotel Oblivion by Cynthia Cruz

dracovulpini's review

slow-paced

I feel bad rating so low but I will fully admit I think 70% of this went over my head

3.0

I reserve the right to change my mind about this one, but on a first read, I was underwhelmed. I've read all of Cruz's previous collections and other works, including The Melancholia of Class: A Manifesto for the Working Class, but even so, I couldn't make heads nor tails of what these poems were doing. There were plenty of intriguing lines and great language, but the enjoyment was fleeting because I couldn't understand what was happening.
