Review for Jessica

Inmate 321324 is a very raw poem in its tone and despite its almost loving tone (towards the inmate) brings up excellent social issues, and for that I like it a great deal. The line 'Only because they know pressure bust pipes' stood out to me in particular because it is not only descriptive of emotion but also doubles as a social commentary. I think this is something that needs to be addressed, it’s a fucking tragedy that despite all its checks and balances the justice system is painfully biased against minorities and class. Marx would have a field day with poetry like this. I think however that this poem could be so much more visceral and get the point to the reader more like a proverbial sledge hammer.
Complete Me reads almost like a prayer and for that I enjoyed it. The repetition of 'right now, here' helped get a feeling of urgency across. I also like the line 'so I keep going' it shows a steadfastness in the narrator and their struggle with life. Like the first poem I think this could be emotionally deeper. What do people do in particular that are cold and harsh, what temptations do you mean?
