Book Reviews of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy: Poetry
Book Review: Disjointed
Summary: 1 Stars
The poetry in this book completely escapes me. I realize that not everyone "gets" different styles of poetry (or prose for that matter). That said, Lin's style of communicating seems so disjointed, tangential, and arbitrary that his work appears to me as indecipherable on nearly every page. The impression I took away from this book is that Lin's writings (and possibly Lin himself) are just plain *weird.*
I purchased this book to use as an add-on to a course I was teaching on CBT. I had hoped to find a poem or two to share with my class; I was quite disappointed, to say the least. Before you buy this book, go to Lin's blog (reader of depressing books) to check him out a bit. I wish I had before buying this travesty of literature.
Summary of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy: Poetry
"A revolutionary."-The Stranger
"Stimulating and exciting."-The San Francisco Bay Guardian
"Tao Lin writes from moods that less radical writers would let pass-from laziness, from vacancy, from boredom. And it turns out that his report from these places is moving and necessary, not to mention frequently hilarious."-Miranda July, author of No One Belongs Here More Than You
Tao Lin-author of the underground sensation Eeeee Eee Eeee-continues his deadpan existential-slapstick style with poems featuring titles such as: "I will learn to love a person and then I will teach you and then we will know" and "hamsters are heads with little characteristics on the head, part one."
It is, in short, a book of poetry in which the author attempts in a calm, sympathetic, and at times sarcastic tone, to explain to himself the possible origins and cures of anger, worry, frustration, obsession, and confusion-while concurrently experiencing those things.
Tao Lin is the poetry editor for 3 a.m. magazine, and proprietor of the blog Reader of Depressing Books. His stories and poems have appeared in Mississippi Review, Cincinnati Review, Other Voices, Punk Planet, and many other magazines. Lin, author of the novel Eeeee Eee Eeee and the short story collection Bed, was born in 1983.
