Holy shit. I'm crying just typing this review even though I finished the book like 10 minutes ago. This is the book that reignited my love for poetry. Although only half this book made sense to me, and typically that would infuriate me, this was just absolutely GORGEOUS. Williams had me from page one, and in this book he criticized the patriarchy, war, religion, and this was generally just a roller coaster ride that brought me to tears. It was so raw and it was centered on a love story, but grew so much in these 182 pages. Highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend and i'm going to go read his other two poetry books that I own right now.

i have mixed feelings, mostly that a lot of what is said in this poem is a message that has existed forever and is still a message unaware in the mass consciousness. and so now a dude says it and i hope it will be taken more seriously by reaching an audience that may not typically veer toward this thinking--as this book was also helped put out by mtv, which is also a strange concept to me, but whatever works to get something out to get the folk thinking is a good move.the poem is pro

A fascinating poetic rumination on American culture post 9/11. An indictment on our shallow modern values, lack of connection to the Earth, and patriarchal society.

this book caught my eye with its packaging; a pretty little product with lots of fonts and sizes and such that seemed like a cool way to write a manifesto. That being said, the writing was borderline terrible, featuring cheesy puns like "mind altering/altaring", "a burning Bush", "this loaded phallus has becum" and the conclusion that matriarchy will solve all our problems (as if Hillary did not vote for the war, as if Judith Butler had never written a book, as if gender is a duality and not a
