I don't know the unambiguous source why I picked up this book, for the rhymester or for her poems, because both are interesting.

Through her characters, Ai's literary genre arrives at thoughtful but worrying ecumenical truths.

The gong of the narrative gets its label from the firstborn nursery rhyme "Dread" depicting a female person military personnel whose male sibling disappeared in the World Trade Center mishap. The other than characters she mentions orbit from her own very good acute grandpa to journalists, to detectives, and to general public in past like-minded Jimmy Hoffa, Custer, J. Edgar Hoover, and others.

It is rather impractical to inverted comma from the poems of Ai, because all poem is a solid natural object and it can't be broken away. Most, in one way or the other, show the harm of breathing in a inhumane planetary. The ones who have passed distant are given a place, also, near a attested quality, like the departed female sibling in "Delusion."

Ai consultation to the worldwide next to vitality, and finished her characters' voices, re-produces their miseries and penetrates into their cores as she lets the readers have a looking at her own insides. Whether John F. Kennedy Junior speaks from elapsed the dire or a grandad commits incest, we as readers are ready-made to get the impression the itching of of our own or amassed ordeals, inhumane and fell in temper.

Ai's own history, too, is given in her poetry, specially in "Relativity." From the lot of her birth and who her parents are to some other measures in her life, we bear witnesser to the poet's fair and stimulating strength, because her wounds become our wounds spell we hold her writing style.
