Puns, slang, broken spelling. She shows you how \u201cproper\u201d English is rigged to keep you from seeing what\u2019s really going on. Some of these entries will make you laugh. Others will make your head spin and wonder. That\u2019s OK, it\u2019s the point. She wants you to look at words and consider what they truly mean. This slim book was a National Book Award finalist and she deserved it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>This is an odd little wonder of a book. She plays with puns, clich\u00e9s, advertising slogans, government-speak and all the phrases we hear so often we\u2019ve stopped listening to them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Some poems are funny. Some are sharp. Some may make you wonder if you accidentally skipped a page containing the instructions. I\u2019m not entirely sure poetry is supposed to come with instructions, which may explain why some of us are afraid of it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span>Mullen moves words around like letter tiles in Scrabble, slinging them back and forth along their wooden pew before she fits them back together, sometimes unexpectedly, to create something new. A perfectly ordinary phrase may get a slight twist and all of a sudden, you see what\u2019s hiding underneath it, whether it\u2019s race, sex, money or power.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>A few questions to kick things off. On this first one, I\u2019m genuinely curious. How many of you read poetry regularly? If you do, did Mullen\u2019s experiments feel playful or exhausting, or generate some other feeling?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Then, I\u2019m just as curious if you started this book and thought, \u201cWhy in the world did Michael recommend this?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Which poems stayed with you? Which did you have to read more than once? Which made you laugh? Were there any you read and reread, yet still couldn\u2019t make heads or tails of?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span>There are no wrong answers here. Unless you claim to have understood every word on the first reading. Then we may need to see some identification.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>MM<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-attrs=\"{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.michaelmoore.com\/p\/mm-book-club-discussion-sleeping?utm_source=substack&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=share&amp;action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Share&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}\" data-component-name=\"ButtonCreateButton\" class=\"button-wrapper\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.michaelmoore.com\/p\/mm-book-club-discussion-sleeping?utm_source=substack&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=share&amp;action=share\" class=\"button primary\"><span>Share<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>** In order to have a troll-free, hate-free comments section \u2014 and because if there\u2019s one thing I know about my crazy haters, they would rather let Karoline Leavitt explain the meaning of \u201ctruth\u201d to them for six straight hours than give me $5 \u2014 my Comments section here on my Substack is limited to paid subscribers.
