Poetry thrills, kicks, kills.


The Life by Malcolm Knox

Thrills: Reading a book that is
yeah, and but
willing to be poetic, to create its own language.
Really
no, forget it
it’s amazing. Giant barrelling six footers, eight footers, ten footers curling in from the edge of the page.
Forget it, forget it, FORGET IT!

Reading a book that is willing to tell a story through the language is fantastic. It’s energizing. It’s exciting.
