Read for Intro to Creative Writing. 3.5 stars. There was nothing absolutely incredible, but there also wasn’t anything horrendous. Some of the poems were good, and I liked how many modern allusions there were. I like Wicker’s poetic voice. Many poems seemed to drag on longer than I thought was necessary, but none were downright bad. I also don’t think I was the target audience, so that definitely contributed. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend this, but if you happen across it, and it’s cheap enough, it’s worth a peak.

Wicker’s collection is smart and lively but very reference heavy. I’m sure the “intended reader” would highly enjoy it, but I don’t understand enough of the musical references to really submerge into the poems.

3.5-ish stars. a really well-organized & cohesive collection about music, race, growth, etc. while I enjoyed this book, nothing really stood out to me as being "amazing" or "remarkable" -- if that makes sense. I'd definitely, however, read more work from this poet in the future.
