I think it's good for someone who had poetic sense of mind. I am not that type to say how it's taste. I like your review and you might be poetic reviewer.

Thank you for your great review. You explained the different parts well and if one would enjoy reading it or not. I'm like you that I don't care for profanity even it's just used to throw those words around. I thought the example was interesting on how the author wrote it.

A collection of poem that addressed themes of race, violence and AIDS. It seems like it is talking about a particular set of people. I will really love to read this book. Thanks for the review.

The title and the cover of this book grabbed my attention. I usually don't read poetry, but the examples quoted by the reviewer are lingering in my mind, especially the same pipes bringing water to the divided fountains, that paints such a strong picture.

This "collection of poetry with a bold tone of self-examination and identity" is definitely a great read for fans of poetry. However, I'm not a fan of this genre, and I don't think I'll enjoy the profanity in it. I'll pass on this one. Otherwise, congrats on the BOTD!
