Awaits: Laura Bruce

I honestly felt bad after reading these poems, because I don't think I got what I was supposed to get from them. I feel like I got to see not Awiakta's soul, but not so much into her life. Reading the Adterword gave me so much more insight into what was happening as Awiakta grew up than any of those poems did to make me feel anything about the nuclear age. And that's what really bothered me. I want to feel when reading poetry, and I didn't feel much of anything.
