It's all in here...

Murder, deceit, 1992 riots, domestic abuse, incest, PTSD, the Savings & Loan scandal, illicit love affairs, whores, pimps, and more; it's all in there in Ai's fifth book. This was my first exposure to her work and I was surprised at how hard-hitting the book is on a number of subjects. An interesting twist from most "personal" or "confessional" poems is that Ai tells her stories from both a female and male perspective. These are very visual works. If you like Bukowski, Denis Johnson, Jim Carroll or other hard edge poets, you'll like Ai.

great poetry, by a great poet

Just to let it be knownthat her name is Ai, not Aie..
