Another Word for Hunger by Heather Bartlett

4.0

I liked this collection a lot. The way Bartlett puts words on the page -- especially in the first section -- just felt exactly right to me, in terms of rhythms, pauses, occasional quirky punctuation. She turns a lot of good phrases, and each poem has a mood. I engaged with these more as artifacts of language than as vehicles for meaning, and I just really enjoyed reading them, probably more than I've enjoyed a full collection in a long time.
