Styrofoam

My reflection on Styrofoam is that I appreciated the originality of the poem. I enjoyed how she used the space through out the pages. Yet, I think the writing is a little bit silly in general. In order for people to understand her point, the poem requires tons of re-readings and many discussions. I think that people who just read this without taking a class will not actually get what she is saying. Her point becomes hazy mixed in with the scientific stuff, and the pictures. I think it would be more effective if she kept all her poems more simple, especially if she is trying to make a statement about something that is happening in the present.
