Explanation Supposing Books Sharp Teeth

Toby Barlow writes
about the good things in life
and the bad.
Oh, you know:
Blood, sex, death, hunger, frenzy
But his
conceit!
His
gall!
Is to structure his story
as 308 pages
of free-verse poetry
whose style this preview crudely mimics.

But wait!
Oh gentle goodreads friend
I haven't even told you
the best part.
For Barlow's
book?
poem?
experiment?
What do you call something
that defies all genres?
Anyway, Barlow's..
product
follows the lives
of A PACK OF FREAKIN' WEREWOLVES
raping, feeding, and pillaging
in present-day Los Angeles.

Cool.

Notice About Books Sharp Teeth

Oh Toby Barlow, when will you write something again? There just aren't enough epic poems about weredogs to quench my thirst.What I love about this book: There's nothing better than a weird-ass premise. This one is sublime. The beautiful flow of words drew me right in. I like that it begins with a song and ends with a song.

This a type of book that shouldn't work, but does.Barlow tells the story of werewolves, drug dealers, pounds, and true love in free verse.The craziest thing is that it works.While not as good a poet as say Coleridge or Browning, there is something powerful in some of Barlow's verse."Anthony in love is unlikely/in its grace/like a drunk with a magic trick./There's no reason it should work, but it does."Strangely in book that shouldn't work, Barlow comments deeply on the human condition.

Werewolves in free verse with carne asada tacos.Now that I got my one-liner out of the way, Sharp Teeth is an original horror tale that never lets the reader off. I read it in two sittings, interrupted only by the fact that my wife and I had tickets for a jazz concert and she wouldn't let me stay home and read the book! The use of free verse was a bit daunting to me at first but after a few pages I got into the rhythm and stayed entranced. The book sometimes reads more like an organized crime

I cannot recommend this book - written in blank-verse about werewolf gangs in East LA - strongly enough. Emotional, captivating, well-written and totally different than anything I've ever read before - highly recommended!
