Pretty much what one would expect from a poetry collection: Lots of ruminations on Things, plenty of Observations. In short, not my thing.

Poetry lovers are urged to try it out for #PrideMonth2020.

ETA It occurs to me that I should mention how rare a thing it is for me to *finish* a poetry collection. Three stars has, anymore on this site, a slightly down-market tinge; this is not at all what I mean to say with the rating. I don't enjoy reading poetry, most poetry anyway, and seldom make it past three or four poems before tossing the book aside with an impatient snort. I thought enough of this collection to send it to someone seeking to broaden his poetic horizons. Just so y'all know.
