Review: Black Book of Poems

Black Book of Poems by Vincent K. Hunanyan
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

Earnest but outdated

The author of Black Book of Poems tells us he want to write accessible and not pretentious poetry, a valid goal. However, as is the case with many earnest poets, he falls into the trap of writing with a poetic diction from the Victorian Era. The emotional experience seems honest, but the poetry fails to convey cognitive or affective depth.
