markm reviewed Selected Poems Of Simon Armitage by Simon Armitage
Review of 'Selected Poems Of Simon Armitage' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
I came to this collection from the poem "Poem" in an anthology elsewhere. Mr. Armitage is gritty and direct; some of his poetry is very fine. He seems angry and many of these poems are violent and disturbing. I found some offensive - I suppose that is the point.
