- Summary:
- "In these Poems...Ms. Cruz does more than just brood on death, mental illness, and the minefields of girlhood-she gets this close to the thing itself, to 'the pilot / Blue light of the mind' going out... These are melancholy spells of damage and sad madness chanted by children high on glue, crystal meth, and 'dream pills' who can't keep up with this too-fast world, boys and girls who have become prey... The Glimmering Room is an exquisite fever dream of drugs, anorexia, and unwanted sex (in both senses of the world) populated by young women and men-the walking dead-who have lost all sense of where the edge is...
