thebookkeepers's review against another edition
4.0
Themes of loss, regret, and somber reflection ring through many of his poems. I enjoyed his shorter pieces that had bouncy flows through them with his rhyming construction, a nice contrast to the dark solemn content. Many poems were steeped in brilliant symbolism and required multiple read throughs to appreciate the depth of his wit. I personally admired his pieces inspired from biblical texts that I grew up familiar with. However some poems became very winded, and the symbolism too dense that the meaning was lost on me. 3.5 Star overall
