7 ratings1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5When most people think of poetry, they think of love poems or rhyming couplets. Liz Worth presents a different kind of poetry. Her work focuses on sex and excess, a gritty kind of poetry. Her use of imagery allows the reader to perfectly visualize each poem, putting her right in it, allowing her to experience it even if the situation is unfamiliar, which it will be to few. Her use of alliteration adds to this by giving it a musical quality, making each poem perfect for a slam. While definitely for more mature audiences, the poems within this collection will resonate with many, for better or worse.
