A review by malorie
The Book of Frank by Eileen Myles, C.A. Conrad

5.0

This is potentially the most awkward collection of poetry I have ever read. It made me feel viscerally uncomfortable at times in only the way that looking at life without any filter does, yet it was entirely surreal and disorienting. Though this surrealism permeated throughout, these short poems were so frequently punctuated with quiet profundity I would feel floored and grounded before launching off spinning again. I think I might have to read it many more times to figure out where it sits inside me, or where I sit inside it.
