Blood Dazzler

I always knew about hurricane Katrina and what effects of it but none personally affected me.  There were a few people from school who were from New Orleans after the disaster but they usually kept to themselves and didn't speak too much on it.  I really like how this poetry book drew me in from the moment it started dealing with the dates and the feelings of it all even before it became a hurricane from just a tropical storm.  People from that city didn't seem to react and run every time a "threat" came their way.

I really like how in "Man on the TV Say" was like a warning to the people but she didn't seem to want to leave but only when he kept saying go...It finally sank in that maybe it time to leave.  I like how she described life in the city before the hurricane and not just all negative vibes.  I even like how she gave you a feeling that she loved her home even the cockroaches that was  within her home.  It's like a story yet poems that tell the tale.

Throughout the Blood Dazzler I seen lots of different structures within the book but not a lot of rhyming.  I see strong language giving me great images of what she wants me to visualize.  I really like she explained situations that were happening after the hurricane.  Living in different city we only heard what the news shared which extremely negative and not that truth of the people's eyes.  Loot was like an experience only someone could know from being in the situation.  I learned a lot from reading this book and I like this one a lot more than the city eclogue.
