Love, Dishonor, Marry, Die, Cherish, Perish

Not my favorite novel-in-verse. I kept losing the rhythm and struggled to find it again. I also thought at times it was trying too hard, with phrases like, "vaginal vernissage". I might have felt differently if I knew Rakoff's previous work.
Still, it was not without some merit.
Favorite Quotes
The yard a brown painting of motionless calm
The packed, ochre dirt and the lone, scraggly palm.
No sway to its fronds nor the measly dry grasses,
Immobile and baking in air like molasses.
Gets up, quite refreshed, sets the coffee to perk.
For once looking forward to going to work.
She pours out a cup, adds a stream of cold milk
And smiles as it swirls just like taffeta silk.
The flip side of love is indifference, not hate.
Still, it was not without some merit.
