blert

I read Jordon Scott's blert over the weekend and found if very difficult to read. I guess that was maybe the point seeing this book of poetry represents stuttering, and the author notes in the back that he wanted it to be as difficult as possible to read. There were little bits like "word order = world adour" (13) that I enjoyed, but for the most part, it just gave me a headache. I did notice themes involving the mouth and speech and others such as ice and stanza with words starting/containing the same letters which I assume are words that are difficult for stutterers to say.
