I wanted to like this book more than I did. Don't get me wrong - Brown's poems are striking and evocative, effortlessly linking sound and form and style to experience. In theory, this should appeal to me, but something about it doesn't land quite right. Maybe it's the awkwardness of some of his lines - it's clear that he has never read a whole lot of these poems out loud.
