I feel it’s important to qualify this review; I rate books based on what they mean to me, not how good they are. Often times, I feel the two line up, but not in this case. From the perspective of quality, this book deserves a 4 minimum, even if you’re a little stingy with your 5’s. Very experimental, strong rhythm in the language, and many poems are exceptionally powerful.
