The Storm part 2 - assignment 1/28

I was very moved by the poems in the last half of Blood Dazzler. Patricia Smith goes into some deep subjects in her poems. I was surprised to read about death and religion in her poems. Her style of writing really sets the mood also. The way she ordered the lines, the use and repetition of words, and way the words played with each other really added to the effect the poems had on me. I found it interesting how she wrote poems about Katrina's "family". I also like how all the poems created different perspectives of hurricane Katrina.
