The Ship Is Sinking

This is a thoroughly enjoyable poetry collection once I got past the first few poems which I did not connect with. Soon Matt Galletta was making me laugh with "My Father's Severed Head", making me feel shared hate in "Dear Neighbor", and making me feel I have shared experiences such as in "Eight Years Old" except I had a problem with barbed wire rather than a rope. The poems are varied enough that you as a reader will connect with enough of them to say you enjoyed the volume. I received a copy for review from LibraryThing. ( )
