Zong! is the most experimental poetry I have had the pleasure of reading. It is a book to be savoured and read piece by piece. At times, Philip had me in tears while in other places I marveled at the way she pieced words together. This read -in and of itself- can be exhausting though. It is not just the content but also the way Philip has written it. It's hard to put into words the experience of Zong!. That's because it is just that - an experience!
