Catapult (Kimberly Johnson)

Catapult by Kimberly Johnson

Is actually about a catapult. Huh. Beauty in destruction and all that.


I am, however, kind of unimpressed by it. It's nice, but not special. I, at times, found it humorous, which I'm not sure is intentional. It just seems to take itself seriously whereas I found humor in its  praising of the "vat of rendered fat" and "flaming haybales". I mean, really, how could I not?

What do you think?

Favorite line: "as if hungering for the earth"
