4.0
a solid 4.5/5
Some really beautiful detailed sections and nice mixes from longer pieces to one page. Will be picking this back up in the near future to glean more beauty from it.

I have been on a poetry kick for a while now, and have read some fantastic collections. For me, this was not one of them. Poetry is so much about personal taste, and mine leans towards the lyrical yet personal, each word chosen to compliment the whole. Metaphors are a beautiful device, when used sparingly. Here, the writing leans more towards ‘stream of consciousness’ and surrealism, with repeated words, too many metaphors and sentences lacking in flow, making the poems feel disjointed. I just didn’t feel a connection to this book, which is vital for me with poetry.
