Book Reviews of Void of Course (Poets, Penguin)
Book Review: Damnit
Summary: 4 Stars
If anyone can tell me the name of a modern poet who rhymes without sounding contrived can they please email me. I'll be eternally grateful.Book Review: Coulda Been Better
Summary: 3 Stars
Carrol shines on two poems: the fragmented "...Kurt Cobain" and the epic and magical "While She's Gone." Allright, COULDA BEEN BETTER!!!!Book Review: There are a few good lines in this book
Summary: 1 Stars
Jim can be clever and funny and there are a few memorable lines in this book. The last poem is cool. Jim always had an intangible quality that I liked but he really lost me with this book. There is not much art to it, lots of times it seems like he isn't even trying. The writing is lazy. He is also too crass at times. I thought it was stupid.Book Review: very dissapointing
Summary: 1 Stars
I love Jim and all but this book was very questionable. The poems were poor, nothing special or different about them. He should go back to writing prose. If you like his poetry a lot than maybe it's worth getting, but I personally think it's his worst book witten.Book Review: Well worth waiting for.
Summary: 1 Stars
The new collection from Jim Carroll was well worth waiting for. Carroll's perspective of the stark city life is well represented in this work. A must read for fans of contemporary poetry.
