No Mercy by Alessandro Manzetti

4.0

"Always the same scene in her head / when the ghost comes."

No Mercy is an intriguing collection of 18 poems by Alessandro Manzetti. This was the first time I had read any of his work, and these poems are grim. I enjoyed reading this book. I can't say that I completely understood everything, but Manzetti's writing is dark and beautiful. My top 5 poems were The Pearl - 10/4/70, No Mercy, The Window, The Ghost Subway, and A Dream of Milk and Blood. I will definitely be reading more of his work.
