The Colony Tekijä: Jillian Weise
Oddball characters. Acerbic wit. Insightful dialog laced with humor and sarcasm. Weird genetic manipulation. I enjoyed this a lot. Reminded me of a good Palahniuk novel in many ways.

Weise obviously spent time and attention to her vision of what this book should be. It strives to be experimental, a common aesthetic standard today. After Dada, experimental is a hard direction to go and still have something to communicate.
In sum, it may just be me, but this collection did not engage me, surprise me, or in any significant way cause me to reread. In fact, I skimmed many after the first few lines put me off.

I admit that I'm generally skittish of poetry collections that have a clear over-arching idea to guide the full work, while still not being a narrative--too often, they're contrived and tiresome by halfway through. That, probably, is why it took me so long to read this wonderful collection. Fresh and intimate, this collection is both humorous and heartbreaking at the perfectly timed moments--the rhythms and language here are memorable and worth rereading, and the ideas are unique and accessable. As far as contemporary poetry collections go, this is a new favorite of mine, and one which I'll be rereading and recommending. If you're a reader of poetry, you should be reading Weise.… (lisätietoja)
