1/5 stars
How’d I find it? I recently read Lasky’s The Shining and was interested to check out more of her work. This copy came from Multnomah County Library.
Why not 3 or more stars? I appreciated Lasky’s approach to the themes of motherhood and the limitations of the corporeal; the sensuality of her work evokes Lana Del Rey. The piece “There is no name yet” certainly deserves a read. That said, the often singsong quality to the poems and throwaway nature of their logic read as underdeveloped. The style of poetry in Milk is simply not my taste.
