Reaction to Fast Animal poems by Tim Seibles


            A few time ago, I used to read poems in Spanish. Therefore, I notice a different form and rhythm in English poems. However, I found the same intensity, fiction, and reality in poems written by Tim Seibles. I will say that he is focused in themes, such as, love, passion, and social political concerns. For instance, young relationships, discrimination, injustice, and loneliness were some subjects that he wrote about. In addition, he mentions few contemporary films along with his experiences creating imaginary stories which discuss the previous themes in his poems. Some of these movies were V for Vendetta, Blade, and the Last Dragon. My favorite poems were Born, Wound and The last poem about race which deals with the acceptance of others as equal. I think that the author basically wrote his own love experiences within affection, sensation in a descriptive way; he also cited quotations and film titles to give emphasis to his poems, and expressed his unconformity or acceptance to others.
