the wolf wears / my vertigo well: / sheepsoft clouds / trip over poppies / a little treat / for naked dreams (loc. 40*)
A tight wee chapbook of poetry about gender, sex, and the things that come along with those. Not one to read if you're a little squeamish or would rather not read about sex, but some nice imagery and symbolism throughout. As with just about any poetry collection, I prefer the pieces that are a bit longer; these are micro poems, which leave less on the page and more room to ruminate in what is already a short collection. I'd be very curious to read Blake's writing in a longer format, as they're doing some interesting things here—I'm just someone who will almost always prefer a longer poem to a micro poem.
