Machete: Poems by Tomas Q Morin

This collection was a mixed bag for me. I found the poems at the beginning and the end more memorable than the middle. The ones that hit, though, hit hard. I'll definitely look out for more from this poet in the future.

Life is a double edged blade. In this case a machete. In most cases a balance act between love and lovelessness, displacement and understanding. Where does experience appear to turn the blade? To make a mark? To show proof of active bleeding?

I really liked the early poems and the final poem. Great rhythm in a lot of the poems too. I couldn’t find my footing with a lot of poems in the middle.

Some pieces lack punch, but a severe focus on style and sound :)
