We Don't Know We Don't Know by Nick Lantz

jdgcreates's review against another edition

4.0

This book found me by chance at the library and I highly recommend it to anyone who values powerful poetry. I started to make a list of my "favorites" and found it included almost the entire collection which is not something I can say about most poetry books that I come across. He has cleverly illuminated Donald Rumsfeld's unique brand of communication by using his quotes (and Pliny the Elder's) to head book sections and some poems, but manages to make the poems speak with their own quiet force. Listening carefully is all that's required! I look forward to getting my hands, eyes, and ears on his second collection.
