gracew 's review for:

The Twenty-Ninth Year by Hala Alyan
3.5
emotional reflective slow-paced

Some of these poems were great but most of them were just not at all my thing. I'm aware that I'm very picky about my poetry so take this review with a grain of salt. I mostly just found a lot of this to be mediocre work, the kind that you'd find in a beginning poetry class. It isn't that it is horrible, it's perfectly passable poetry. It is just nothing extraordinary, nothing new. Some of the poems were thought provoking and others simply weren't.
