reviews in haiku: June 2012

Summer time, here’s some bite-sized reviews to bring to your pool party.

.

On Celestial Music

hits music’s cadence

great essay, again, again

an affective read

.

The Freak Chronicles

stories full and deep

young, unencumbered focii

life catches us all

.

False Negative

okay but not great

this has awesome cover art

hard to like the lead

.

Evidence That We Are Descended From Chairs

great debut poems

succinct and astute verses

subtle, and with strength

.

Incredible Change-Bots

huge nostalgia points

an homage to Transformers

this book’s worth your time

.

Gone Girl

Nico loves this book

best writer in her genre?

he says there’s a chance

.

The Tiger Rising

strong writing on show

heavy for a children’s book;

surprisingly deep

.

Angelmaker

poor Nico let down

Harkaway aimed a bit high

miss: “overworked dud”

.

This Bright River

this one starts real slow

it’s worth waiting things out though

Somerville can write

.

How to Say Goodbye

melancholy verse

annealing is going on

but there’s humor too

.
