Summary: Good but way too long
Comment: I liked quite a few of the poems in this book. Unfortunately, it's way too long. The weak poems water down the strong ones. If the book's length had been shortened by 1/3 or 1/2, the whole would be stronger than the sum of its parts.
What's with the fixation on an author's bio? Let it go.
Rating: 5
Summary: great collection
Comment: another fine book by one of most talented poets

Summary: Better than that Basquiat Mess!
Comment: ... I liked JELLY ROLL, at least it's brief. Liked it way better than that Basquiat mess. Too long, too pretentious, though there were some gorgeous moments, too. But give me the art any day. After reading a few of the poems, you got the sense that the author was repeating himself just to hear himself. In JELLY ROLL, he seems to take his time, be more respectful with his art. And since when does a Harvard degree make you stepchild to the blues? Let a brother flex or something!
