Housten Donham, at HTMLGiant, reviews Andrew Choate’s new book Stingray Clapping.
While musing on the minimalist and “oddly pleasurable” pieces, Donham also comments on the current poetry scene. As a student of political poetry, he is not against poetry with purpose but seeks a less pointed approach: “At a time when so much poetry is almost singularly concerned with justifying itself, Stingray Clapping represents an attractive, empowering, and refreshing new alternative.”
