This was a contemplative collection of poems that had content I liked, but several poems that had structures I wasn’t a big fan of. Every poem had a story, though, and nearly all of them had shimmering moments where the wording was just beautiful; it was definitely the case that some had more of these than others.
Even if I wasn’t as big of a fan of the structure of a lot of these poems, I do respect how Queen played with it, never sticking to one particular format. I guess this was where the collection occasionally felt disjointed, but I found there was much to contemplate that, ultimately, made me like this collection.
