I loved many verses and themes in these poems, but will admit some of it flew over my head. This is a book that requires close-reading to appreciate it fully.

I will accept that this collection was most likely beyond my comprehension. The concept is brilliant but the poetry feels a little inaccessible. Strings of random words and phrases that often would have meant just as much to me assembled in any other arrangement. This is something I will need to revisit many times to appreciate the depth. It left me with a feeling of "what did I just read," but... in a good way?

Picked this up on a whim and really liked it. I don't usually read a ton of poetry but I thought the structure and topics were very elegant and complex but also a bit confusing. Wonderfully strange. I wish I had savored it and spread out the reading to enjoy it better. Would definitely recommend.

Complex and brilliant, this is poetry at its best. Rosebud Ben-Oni takes theoretical physics as her starting point to explore the philosophical and scientific, charting new courses in form and insight. The first read may be difficult and elusive, but deep reading is definitely rewarded.
