thebeardedpoet's review against another edition
5.0
Prufer's poetry strikes me as a hybrid between Carolyn Forché and Mark Strand. The work has Forché's global scope and concerns about atrocities throughout history and in the present day. It resembles Strand in the dream-like, sometimes nightmare-like, surrealism. As Forché and Strand are two of my favorites, Prufer is quickly becoming another favorite for me.
I was especially taken with the poem "The Enormous Parachute." Highly recommended!

I really like poetry, but I'm not going to lie, most of the time it goes right over my head. I had to read this for a creative writing class and there were a few poems I really liked, but I find this hard to rate because I have very little experience reading poetry and don't understand most of it (I wish I did).
