The Final Strife (Ending Fire, #1)
Saara El-Arifi
sunnysunshine wrote a review...
Unsexy alien sex mixed with the start of a contemplation on what makes humans human versus what makes aliens alien. Octavia Butler is really tackling something different than I've ever seen here but I'm not sure it all landed for me. What she is describing is difficult to visualize and conceptualize but there was such a huge focus on description that it helped at times but overtook the story at certain points.

This is an introduction to modern poetry, with a focus on breadth of voices and styles rather than depth. In the words of Leonard Cohen, "poetry is just the evidence of life...if your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash." This quest is for those who love poetry, hate poetry, want to write it, read it, or perhaps have nothing to do with it (or all of that at once)!
