Review # 1 was written on 2017-04-10 00:00:00 Captain Kayos I watched the movie "Basketball Diaries" countless times and since I've come to a huge liking of poetry I never thought to pick up Carroll's work. This may not be his best collection but I will seek more of his work. Standouts 8 Fragments for Kurt Cobain Train Surfing Poem (pg 54) The Ocean Below

Review # 2 was written on 2012-09-06 00:00:00 Casey Hurley Carroll was pioneering a grungey post-punk poetry here with a romantic bent, you can imagine him in a run-down New York tenement scribbling away and smoking, at times he nails it and when he doesn't nail it he creates a good mess like those songs you skip on a Sebadoh album but you're still glad they're there. A little metaphor-heavy for me, ie. too many snakes, and a lot of water imagery which i guess you could call a bit lazy, and he could've done something with his hair for the front cover, but y'know he was doing important work.
