bisexualwentworth 's review for:
From Your Hostess at the T&A Museum
by Kathleen Balma
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the eARC of this book. All opinions are my own.
I thoroughly enjoyed this absurdist poetry collection. It's hard to describe without just quoting full poems, but the style of humor was exactly up my alley.
Some poems are homages to other pieces of media, including one called "Poem on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown" and one speculating on how Abraham Lincoln could have built the log cabin he was born in. Some are lists. Some are dialogues.
The last chunk of the book is an extended story about a polygamist ape kingdom. It was bizarre and confusing and at times charming but generally less interesting for me personally than the rest of the book.
If you like poetry and utter ridiculousness with some heart and some intellectual references, then I highly recommend this little collection. If not, pick up something else.
