I also agree that it was overdone. When I first started reading I figured many one or two would have this innuendo, but the majority did and it was stale by the time I finished reading the collection.Kathy Smith 16 wrote: ↑28 Nov 2023, 13:32 I found the innuendos clever but overplayed. Of the 52 calligrams/photography poems, 37 were innuendos. I definitely did not like the innuendos that involved kids, like the one where the first half implied bondage, but it was just a little girl getting pigtails done before school.

I feel the same way. I can definitely see how these poems would make others uncomfortable, while I personally enjoyed them. I thought they were clever and interesting to read. The first few made me second guess whether I was imagining the innuendos and just had a dirty mind, or if the author was being intentional! That was a fun aspect to me. I tend to enjoy when authors tease their readers a bit.Princewill Uchenna wrote: ↑25 Dec 2023, 17:40 I dont not think so. Personally it did not affect the overall pleasure I had reading this book even though some readers will be uncomfortable with it.
