Here, she elevates what was merely clever in the previous collection to something close to sublime. It is a book easy to fall in love with and one that makes one want to memorize dozens of its delicately fierce lines.
This is witty and adventurous stuff. Perhaps too heady a mix for many but nonetheless a clever and thought-provoking read if you bear with it.
Her sharp lines, internal space, and imagery conjure a breathtaking love story. Her readers do not need to know about Arthur, Guinevere, and Lancelot to enjoy the volume. The poet's contemporary tale of betrayal, romance, and intrigue highlights the timelessness of desire, materialism, and lust, and their inevitable failure to satisfy us.
For its unique texture Stalin In Aruba is a consistently engrossing read. This first collection is a confident debut by a quietly talented writer.
