schomj's review against another edition

Very sensual, frequently ... sad(?), and sometimes horrifying -- thinking about his Jasper sequence, about the murder of James Boyd, Jr. It gave me chills.
I'm only an occasional reader of poetry and sometimes unsure how the cadence should go, so was happy to find a few clips of the author reading his work online. Here's The Blue Dress in Mother's Closet.

Intimate, intense poetry. Some of the best poetry I have read.

beautiful, sensuous poetry though many (most?) of these can also be found in Jones's full-length collection, Prelude to Bruise

Admittedly, I don't read a lot of poetry and often feel dumb while reading it. Saeed Jones' writing is visceral and vivid. I look forward to reading more from him!
