Sometimes you read something that simply fails to engage you in any way. Try as I might, Kit Fan’s volume of poetry – “As Slow As Possible” – is one such book.
I looked for stanzas that grabbed me, tried to be benevolent when filtering for ideas, but I simply struggled. Perhaps it’s a wavelength thing.
As I’ve said before, just because I couldn’t connect with a book doesn’t make it a bad book. Indeed, it’s a Poetry Society Recommendation and has been subsequently reviewed…
I feel like trotting out that old excuse – “It’s not you, it’s me”… Which is almost certainly is in this case…
