A lot of the beginning went over my head and was difficult to follow because the imagery and phrases are so abstract. I appreciated the intention of the Tiananmen Sonnets more than the execution. The last section was definitely the strongest to me, and I particularly resonated with Elegy for Soft Things and Notes for an Opening. The Notes at the end were also illuminating.
Moderate: Murder, Death, and Police brutality
Minor: War, Vomit, Cursing, Classism, Violence, Racial slurs, and Suicide
