Finally completed this (no other reason than distraction for not getting it finished sooner).
Joe Wilkins is haunted and he writes haunted words and haunted poems. They get under your skin and live their fur a long while, while you remember things you didn't know you knew. This collection is like a box of photographs that's been tucked away in a closet, and gets rediscovered by you after years of them being lost.
Read Joe Wilkins.

mlindner's review against another edition

I liked Ragged Point Road much better than this book. I really cannot explain why that is as I really have no good idea myself. This book does have several poems from the chapbook, including some that I really like. But, somehow, as a whole it does not work for me as well as Ragged Point Road did. Perhaps in a year or so I will reread them and switch the order in which I read them so as to get a different perspective. I made sure to insert some other poetry in between reading these two books so the second would have a 'little room to breathe' but it didn't seem to matter.
All that said, I did enjoy the book just not near as much as the chapbook.
