Rodrigo Toscano Review

Rodrigo Toscano’s poetry reading is a stylistic new age refreshing performance. The ability to comprehend his message is a complex adventure through languages secret abilities to capture you in it. This is not a style for everyone in fact many people would say that his poetry is lacking body, but that is what makes it so rich. Toscano uses poignant massages like “empower the period” and making statements like “ugly America”. Rodrigo is a poet in its rawest form, but is like a literary mime the message is up for interpretation. I would suggest Toscano to any poet who wants to further enhance there poetic understanding, and broaden there vocabulary. Most would agree that his poetry belongs on the page instead of the page because of the confusing language it is hard to understand with just one reading of it. He is very obviously inspired by Ezra pound in the way that he undermines anyone who is unable to comprehend certain aspects of his poetry. As in the poem relay alpha, bravo, Charlie were repetition but with a slight change makes the poem alive, if unable to follow this then he might say that you don’t disserve yet to understand it. Having said this I would still suggest that every poet read or go to a reading of his at some point.
