In Diane Seusss new collection, the notion of the still life is shattered and Rembrandts painting is presented across the book in piecesdetails that hide more than they reveal until theyre assembled into a whole. With invention and irreverence, these poems escape gilded frames and overturn traditional representations of gender, class, and luxury. Instead, Seuss invites in the alienated, the washedup, the ugly, and the freakishthe overlooked many of us who might more often stand in a Walmart parking lot than before the canvases of Pollock, OKeeffe, and Rothko. Rendered with precision and profound empathy, this extraordinary gallery of lives in shards shows us that our memories are local, acute, and unrelenting.

Disappointed with the Content
Honestly, I expected more from this poetry book given the title. Many poems didn’t resonate with me and felt a bit scattered. The cover design is beautiful, but I was hoping for richer content.

A Bit Too Abstract for My Taste
While this book has some interesting poems, I found a few of them to be too abstract and hard to connect with. The cover art is striking, but I was hoping for more relatable themes. Still, it might appeal to more seasoned poetry readers.
