10 lines shine

Hank Lazer's "Days" is a collection of poems that may be read in a short sitting. The structure is that of a ten line poem (with only few variations) in which Lazer explores facets of language in a day-to-day, journal-like style.The subjects are wide-ranging, often involving jazz or baseball, therefore the specifics might make this poetry somewhat inacessible to readers. But Lazer is a craftsman with sounds and shapes of words, and the combinations achieved are impressive.Additionally, this book is a good example of modern poetry that is easily studiable and discussable.
