jasbeingjas 's review for:
A Year of Last Things
by Michael Ondaatje
challenging
slow-paced
I an ARC of this book via NetGalley. This collection of poems didn't work for me at all. By the end I felt like it was a bunch of word vomit. Everything felt clunky, it didn't feel cohesive at all. Not just as a collection, but even within some of the longer form poems, it felt like I was trying to follow a disjointed train of thought. Some poems also came across as almost name droppy or pretentious with the sheer number of references. I haven't read anything from this author before, and if this is their style then I think it's just really not for me.
