For this blog post I will be writing about Fluorescence by Jennifer Dick. I will first begin to write about part 4 in the book. This part was very intriguing to me, because she wrote down all of these many reasons why people aren't satisfied with their own lives. She starts off with "Because of money, or mood, a strange sore in the throat, sex no longer enticing," and then she ends this long paragraph with " because no one could explain." The only person who can explain why a person committed suicide is the actually person who is gone.
Another part in this book that I will blog about is called Gravity. Right away I notice the odd syntax to this poem. Each line starts left margin, to the middle margin, to the right margin. She has two lines like that, and then puts two more lines directly centered. I'm not quite sure what she is talking about in this poem. A line that I really liked was "something red in the green dank of the blue lake dimpled reflections or perhaps fins." This is very descriptive with the colors she in this line. The last line of this poem I also found very interesting, "The body knows, is known she whipsers in the back of his eye so he won't forget." I'm not too sure how you whisper in somebody's eye. This might be a symobolic line for something else.
