![]() CRUSH becomes a child, sad and staring at the ground, the one you reach out to comfort, only to realize the child is you.”Įlise Peyrat: “This man reaches inside my guts and pulls out my shame in a way no one ever really has before, and I find it quite terrifying, which is probably why I’m so obsessed with his poetry and will recommend it until the day I die.” Yet it is this denial of love, this pulse of aggression and insecurity that forces the reader to return. And so it is with the reader: waiting for some resolution between themselves and the book, but the poems never allow for safety, for love, only shove back harder or curl up into themselves wanting to disappear. Tyler: “The book feels like it could save your life, and so you’d die for it, too.” “It’s Siken’s use of repetition that corners the reader, a dizziness surfaces you’re moving but not going anywhere.” “But this is what the book does: it explores destructive relationships, the voice throughout begging for a place where it can just be safe and loved, but it never finds it. ![]() Thesis: Richard Siken’s poetry collection Crush, which is very poetic because his poem connects to the reader, his poetry is very pictorial, exquisite, and delicate. Introduction of the collection, Crush and explain the name. ![]() Art originates from life and is higher than life. ![]()
