3.0
become something frail is full of wonderful imagery. Sometimes it feels like looking at the sunset from an abandoned building. There is something very beautiful about all of the images the author paints tinged with the knowledge that everything, even the unpleasant things, will end. However, I will say that some of the poems are ones that a reader might have to be in the right mood for (but aren't all poems like that?) It's worth reading, worth thinking about, and in the end it just might change you.
A personal favorite of mine is the poem : i am very far which asks "could i be this burden to you?"
Read it yourself to find out.

*I received a copy of Stuart Bucks’s become something frail for review purposes. As always, this review reflects only my honest thoughts on the book.*
The thing that stands out most in these poems (and through pretty much every bit of Stuart’s work I’ve had the chance to read) is his remarkable use of imagery. In addition to being a poet, Stu is also a brilliant visual artist; this absolutely shines through in his writing. He has an uncanny ability to describe something perfectly, yet do so in a way that you’d never had imagined otherwise.
