A mixed bag for me. There was one very short poem that really caught my attention ("Intestate") and I particularly liked the final section, "My Life With Arthropods", in which the poems' subject matter ranged from fleas to slaters, crab-lice to crane flies. The middle section, however, on a range of ancestor's wills, didn't - with the exception of "Intestate" - do much for me; I found it a little repetitive. For me family history bows to natural history I suppose.
