This book was hilarious. It’s basically exactly what you think it would be and I loved every page of it. My only complaint really is that I wish it were longer. I feel like I could read a thousand pages of this guy’s poems.

Review to come early May on Blog and Goodreads.

I received this poem collection from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.

I was eager to read this, the cover looked silly. But before requesting/click the button I wanted to know more about the author and I found out he wrote under Fanny Merkin. And that under that name he wrote that parody of 50 Shades of Grey. Which I loved to bits and am planning on rereading now that I need to ration books.

This book features various poems in all forms from short to long to very very short (like just a few words). I definitely liked that, I am still getting used to reading poetry and I know I tune out when a poem gets too long. So this one held my attention right. The poems are about anything from eating to reading to social media. Sometimes I didn't have a clue what the poem was about (who is Jonathan Franzen?? Or what is Mike's Hard Lemonade?? Or Ray Donovan (a show??)). Then again this happens often when I read books set in the US (but also other countries).
But I did like the poems, they were very random just what I need at this moment. Something to distract my mind.

Plus there are random photographs of flowers/nature (????) after some of the poems. No clue why flowers/nature, it definitely added to the randomness of the book. :P

The book is really short, I wouldn't have minded more pages!

This poem just fits so well with today's situation (reading this in April):
"Every day
is a new opportunity
to say, "Fuck it all."

All in all, I hope he writes more poems and collects them in books. I wouldn't mind more of this.

'Haters Gonna Hate" was my favourite poem.
'I read some of your poetry on instagram, she said, taking my hand in hers.
Have you ever thought about seeing a therapist?

My first foray into humorous observational poetry, and I dug it to be honest. Good stuff. Giggled a bunch

Let’s See Them Poems is a funny book of poems. I enjoyed the easy to read book and would recommend it.

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
