Unincorporated Persons in the Late Honda Dynasty
The third section pushed this to four stars for me. I'm still smiling from the beauty of the last poem, "Voyage." Hoagland's always written of masculinity--humorously and honestly, although in some cases I felt like writing something in response along the lines of "Chicks feel this, too"--loneliness, and, increasingly, modern life (see: title). I find the critiques of capitalism, media, etc. a little easy and uninteresting, and for me the personal as political is where it's at with this poet.
