Brutal Imagination: Poems

I was more in love with the first part of the book than the second. Both parts are fictional, yet the first part is based on the case of Susan Smith and her children. Eady has a fantastic way with words and shows the treatment of a race painfully well. I could read this over and over.

Poetry that is not belabored by imagery or metaphors is good to me. This was straight forward story-telling poetry. It was dealing with dark imagery but poetry does if you deal with racism head on.

I didn't read the second half yet, but I really like the first half. These poems are really good and I recommend it. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because on the title page in the second half they spelled Running and Poems wrong.

A stunning book. Absolutely brilliantly done. I usually don't cry reading poetry, but this book was very emotional. Cornelius does an amazing job of telling the story of a mother and the terrible thing she did. He treats her with compassion and actually at times makes me feel deeply compassionate for her; not just disgusted by her blaming...

A changing, sad, profound, amazing book that is opening my eyes and heart in new ways.

I received the author's autograph. So cool.

I bought this book as a present but confess to reading myself before sending. I enjoyed the poems very much and would read more by this author - he's very talented. It arrived quickly and well packaged.
