Interpretation Conducive To Books Racing Hummingbirds

Racing Hummingbirds examines, critiques, and at times delights in one woman's navigation through the many worlds of manic depression and her struggle to maintain humanity in the process. Jeanann Verlee's award-winning debut collection is a series of narratives, prayers, and conjurings which address gender, sex, race, poverty, heartbreak, and survival with such stark intimacy, you will find yourself living inside. These poems cannot possibly be about you, yet they are. They cross boundaries and reclaim hope. They are as the opening poem suggests, nothing short of communion.

Crit Out Of Books Racing Hummingbirds

This woman performs like a freight train. That in combination with the incredible quality of the words makes hearing them feel like a god/dess is punching your heart.

A good translation from spoken word poetry to the page.

the poems are really great - don't get me wrong - but i didn't enjoy it all that much (wish i could see the author performing them).

A book that is amazing, as said many times already, due to its honest and rather "dirty" nature. I waited a couple years to finally find a copy and read it. I'm not too sure whether or not the wait was entirely worth it, but I do know that I felt close to the narrator when reading the poems. I couldn't relate to absolutely everything, but it was poems like "40 Love Letters" that had me smiling and sighing and constantly nodding away with agreement and understanding. The amount of honesty and

I was stuck in a rut recently, in which I could not grapple enough interest to read any book. Racing Hummingbirds pulled me right out of that rut. This collection of poems is shocking, and at times made me feel quite uncomfortable--- but in a way I loved that feeling. The first poem is absolutely gripping. Nearly every other poem gripped me the same way. Verlee is so good at telling stories, and taking us aback with those stories. This is a new favorite, and I'm so glad I can read again now.

I am rating this book five out of five because it is phenomenal. Each poem is a different story and it pulls you in makes you feel what they feel. Or at least what they're trying to feel. There are poems that will make you smile, poems that will make you cry, and poems that you may or may not relate to. There was not one poem in this book that I felt lacked anything.The ending of the book was a slightly longer poem compared to the others and alongside the poem was a small biography to say about

There are not enough stars for this volume. It starts off strong and ends stronger. PANK magazine's blurb "it's poetry with its teeth bared" is so incredibly spot on. I'll definitely be rereading this for years and years and years.
