There’s no doubt A Rip in This Universe is well-written. The poet shows a strong command of vocabulary and figurative language. More than that, though, the poems are beautifully lyrical. This is the kind of poetry you want to read aloud for full effect.
I enjoyed A Rip in This Universe. The poetry is good but the manuscript itself needs a bit of work. The poems bleed into one another, which is a little frustrating for readers. Also, there are a couple of distracting typos that take you out of the poem and interrupt the experience. Other than that, A Rip in This Universe is a very good read.
