Alright, Mr. Norberino... I decided on a whim to do Minja's review thing this month. Because I'm crazy or something (but of course, that was determined a long long time ago I think). So, I feel like reviewing, but I'm also ummm... let's just say not at all sober. That sort of limits the options for what I can really review. Heavy analysis and all of that? Not so much. Reviewing someone easily offended? Also not so much.

Then I landed on the perfect thing! You have like a zillion folders packed full of poetry and amazing Norb-like musings that I feel very confident giving my seal of approval. So... done deal.

I was actually just digging through all of these folders a week or so ago. I did read a few of these, but tonight, "The Day the Stars Became Round" caught my eye. Awesome title, bro. I also really love the content too. "Liquor soaked, sleeping pill-choked" ...sounds like something I would have written at various points. I really dig the whole thing. I envy your ability to toss rhymes around all willy nilly too. I'm miserably bad at that. Once in a while, one creeps into my poetry, but more often than not, it just... doesn't. You also play with rhythms in an even more blatant way than I do. Like, that seems to be a common part of your writing style. I dig it. It reminds me of beat poets, and who the heck doesn't love a good beatnik?

I've got to say that I'm pretty intrigued about reading the early Writer's Cramp entries too. You mentioned them a few times, so my interest is piqued enough to come give them a look at some point soon. So anyway, what I've read here has been good! Off to poke around some more!



My review has been submitted for consideration in "Good Deeds Get CASH!" .
