5.0 out of 5 stars
Complex resonance,
By Jason Allen (Chicago) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Harmless Medicine (Paperback)
Rarely does a book of poetry leave a reader with an experience of so many deep mixed emotions: joy, despair, anger, humor, etc. The longer complex poems ("Imagining America", "Little Everest In Your Palm", "Homomonument") contrast sharply with the humorous short prose poems like "Neo Testament" showing the range of Chin's writing ability. Some of the pieces are downright silly, like "Contents Page to the Book of Poems I Have Yet to Write", but that's okay because they provide relief from the heavy weight of a young poet's reflections on mortality. Great reading for times of personal reflection...

Brilliant,
By Heywood Djaluvmi (San Francisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Harmless Medicine (Paperback)
It is so rare to encounter a writer who handles difficult material--life, death, love, joy,--yet does it with a light touch, a unique voice, exquisite prose, and most important, with a wicked sense of humor. Wicked, wicked. Justin Chin is the real thing.
