5.0 out of 5 stars Some of the coolest poems you'll ever read, March 8, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: These Now & Other Poems (Paperback)

This book now has two of my favorite poems in it. I would recommend These Now & Other Poems just for "Bus Accident" and "No Power Is". Some of the rest of the poems are funny, some are very sad, but all of them are very cool! The second half of the book is like one longer poem called "These Now." I'm still trying to figure out what it all means, but I LOVE reading these little fragments. Michael Blitz is a cool poet, not one of the dull and boring poets we were forced to read in school!
