Like My Poetry, Please

in Barracuda Guarisco's LIKE MY POETRY, PLEASE (but you'll definitely not boo, indeed) the images create pivotal and powerful moments. the poems flow with integrity, speaking a loud message. one line that really grew its roots inside me was "my harmlessness is revolutionary" which is beautiful especially in a society full of hate and aggression, and this collection has a softness to it that is more giving than demanding. "there were poems in the foodthere were poems in the kitchenthere were poems on the floorthere were poems on the ceiling there was a poem everywhere"- John Compton, poet Guarisco's voice is one that manages to suggest that it knows all the secrets, but is facing utter annihilation anyhow. In this book, that annihilation is waiting behind every corner and wall, paired with a dream-like nonsense, that subtlety suggests the emotional reality of modern life, while also making light references to the "underground" poetry scene. Barracuda is a poet's poet.- J.I.B., author of "AMERICAN TELEVISION"
