Jordan's first book of poetry is a fairly amazing debut firmly set in the tradition of Southern verse. That isn't to say it is invested in linearity for ole time's sake, but the location of the south in a physical sense is paramount to the personal devastation that is explored. But linearity is also subverted, as Jordan raises questions regarding the nature of memory - and perhaps the responsibility of memory to the dead. So check it out if you like the south or if you like poetry why don't you.RATING: 85%

Well, I don't I should comment on how I feel about the south right now, but I do like poetry and I do like this book. So I must agree with the 85% rating.
