I don't even want to call these blog posts book reviews anymore because I hate making everything about books reviews, I talk about the books and describe my feelings about it. I'm not a reviewer in my opinion, so the book review thing won't be in the title anymore. That has nothing to do with this though.

Here is a free chapbook I found somehow on one of those small presses. It was for free and up for snags and I've been reading poetry lately. So why not right?

So what can I say about this? it's chapbook filled with poems about other people. I consumed all of the words and when I read poetry like this, I always wonder if poems like this are describing people or making stories out of the person. Does that make sense? So when people write poetry about people, do the people become poetry. Are we poetic words? Are we walking stories? We all have stories to tell, even the most mundane ones.
