Fluorescence

---


I greatly enjoyed reading Fluorescence by Jennifer K. Dick. Content-wise, it varies between ambiguous and crystal clear. In the beginning, it seems more abstract. However, as you delve further into the book, you begin to read poems that spell out exactly what inspired Dick to write. I pieced most of the puzzle after Two. In these writings, it became obvious that the explosions Dick constantly referred to were not symbolic, but literal. I think she is retelling her account of terrorism in several of her writings.
