Nature Poem

I'm currently experiencing a full body brain body spirit crush on Tommy Pico, which is inevitable because among other things Nature Poem is a major trap in the house of intellectual thirst. It's so exciting to read a poem in a voice that reminds you of your own voice, the voices of people you know. It's like your experience of this earth is worth of being sung, and you have found the poet to sing your story.

The collection moves with hyperactive energy from high and low culture, different levels of seriousnesses, playing very smart and very dumb, very brainy and very sexy, sentimental and cold eyed pragmatism both.

It could be Pico's one trick, but I'm immediately getting his other collections, and no other poet has made me do that before.
