Ephemera

This is a book that contains both poems and short stories. There's really not much you can say about it besides most of the poems were very well put together and fit together well. The short stories were also pretty good, though I have to say my favorite was definitely The Lowliest of Humans which involved a man with a gunshot wound who feels it isn't serious and goes about his day all day long bleeding. This book may have been short but also kind of had an impact in a strange way. Though it was short it wasn't really a book that you could read all in one sitting, mostly because though the stories fit together, they kind of needed to be taken in at different times to really understand what the author was saying. Since short stories have to pack so much in such a short amount of space I have to say the ones in this book were definitely some of the better ones out there. Some of them I could even see becoming novella's, though most not novel's since they seemed just a bit to much too the point for that. So, the overall grade of this book would have to be B-
