Blood Dazzler: "p. 35-end"

1/27/10 ----- The second half of Patricia Smith's series of poems seemed to be much more eventful. I liked it more cause the storm was currently right on top of New Orleans and then the damage could be seen. Unlike the beginning of her series of poems, she left you with little doubt on the outcomes of them. The images that she portrayed really told the story behind the scenes of the storm. She never mentioned the media throughout the book. The details that would normally be forgotten were brought out to have an importance. Each poem added a different element that gave you a good overview of the feelings and turmoil surrounding Katrina. Overall, I enjoyed reading these poems. They gave me a different perspective on many things that Patricia Smith brought up.
