Refuse: Poems by Julian Randall

3.0

3.5! A lot of the poems I felt a bit lost in, the poems I liked most were the avant garde poems written in the footnotes of poems, or ones on pages 59, 61, and 66 where poems were reprised to reveal new meanings. Throughout reading it I could understand why this collection won the Cave Canem poetry prize, for me personally I wish it leaned more into the avant garde and obscure ways the author approached poetry. I felt the strongest poems were the more sparse ones. Overall a good collection.
