Cyborg Detective by Jillian Weise
3.75
I don't usually like poetry, but I'm really glad I picked out and worked through this book. There's still some references I don't quite understand (why is she talking to Catullus? what does that mean?). I liked the diversity of formats -- channeling different authorial voices; mock-interview format with demands to rephrase impertinent questions she herself wrote; collecting headlines to show that in itself can form an overwhelming narrative. She finds a lot of ways to connect with her reader, to hold up a mirror. Really creative and I hope to come back to it again when I've learned a little more. I know there's not stuff I'm not getting right now, which is a good kind of frustration.
