winner of the 1999 national book award
winning the national book award alone is good enough reason to pick this collection up. 'Child Beater' is another. Ai's early poems are without a doubt her best work. as she got older, her poems just lost most of the skill she exhibited in her earlier collection.

If you buy one book of poetry in 2000, make it 'Vice'!
I've followed Ai's work for a few years and it just hasn't been given the attention she deserves (despite that whole national book award thing :). Her poetry is stark and hot and you won't soon forget it.
