Book Reviews of Actual Air
Book Review: featuring the best 20th century description of rain
Summary: 5 Stars
Witty, wonderful stuff. Fans of Richard Brautigan should take note. Also take note: fans of waking up by accident. See 'The Night Nurse Essays' for pitch perfect description of rain and drowning in the 20th century. Late American 20th century.Book Review: great---not as good as fear and loathing in las vegas
Summary: 4 Stars

Summary: 4 Stars
A copy of this book is bumping along the bottom of the Colorado River heading toward Lake Mead. But before it went overboard: One afternoon in camp, while someone was cooking dinner, I was reading the Lincoln poem out loud to another guy on the trip. By the time I read a third selection from the book (at my friend's request) five or six other people had gathered around and were listening. I don't think any of us read poetry for recreation, but this book resonates, we could all tell that; and it was written with the ambition of being human, and as Grand as the Canyon. It ticks me off that this review protocal forces me to assign a number of stars. You can't count stars.Book Review: over rated diss-appointment
Summary: 1 Stars
ha ha ha. or dare i say blah blah blah. truth be told, it is a highly contrived, very workshop type of experience reading this book. poetry written for hipsters. stunningly pretentious. a close read and a glance at other reviews will show only how desperate we are for some great writer to come along. i've had ingrown toenails that are more inspirational. abandon ship!
Book Review: read this book...

my whole life i walked down dusty roads, my own shadow taunted me... i left home for experience, settled in a land of curious inhabitants... met Dave Berman, a psychedlic mentor, drank his exilir, he showed me his dancing coins... we went to battle, our blood mixed with that of our enemy... years later i returned to my community with new gifts and powers...
