News at Eleven: Witty, brutally honest, sensual,

and spiced with dark humor, [Maxine] Syjuco's poetry reads like a well-kept diary, replenished every time she yearns to express herself. And when she does, Syjuco writes with an irreverent and gothic, almost sinister yet seductive, voice that speaks of pigs' groins, bull speech, ex-male-lovers, cocked guns, climactic pistols, illegal love letters, stupid poems, gravitational pelvic axes, Pollock, Nietzsche, Sartre, and Chopin, to mention a few.
