This is my blog post on how i felt about the book "City Eclogue" and my opinion on the authors poems.

 One thing that I noticed about these poems is that they have breaks in them. I don't understand. Maybe its for the reader to see that this is where the author is giving emphasis to something or starting on a new or different idea. i just really don't know but it makes it confusing to read. There is also parts in the poems where the author did not finish the words or sentences. which leaves the reader wondering what the author was going to say next or what word they were trying to say. Some of the poems are telling a story of the hard times people are having. Taking place in the Harlem streets and many other places.

             This can also lead readers think that the author is illiterate and does not know how to spell or write completely. But yet it gives it a little bit of mystery and not be dull and bland like how other authors do their work. ever poet is different sand has their own way of creating poems and telling their stories through them. I'm definitely not good at deciphering what poems are about so most of these poems are just here for my enjoyment to read and wonder and ponder upon what the author is trying to get me to realize or understand from the poem. A lot of the poems had to do with scenery and gardens and flowers and stuff like that. 

    There are poems where the places are compared to other things that are like the complete opposite of what is being talked about.While reading these poems i had one poem that caught my attention  in doing so as i was going through each page. For example in the one poem called the distant stars as paparazzi. The poem describes the news to a bird and flying. i dont understand it that much to be honest but it was one that caught my attention.
