My favorite poems in the collection were: The Bull, Dear Peter, Beautiful Short Loser, American Legend, Not Even, Nothing and Ars Poetica as the Maker.
"I'm not sad, he told me once, laughing, I'm just always here."
"I know. I know the room you've been crying in is called America.
I know the door is not invented yet."

3.5
but so much time was spent, in my opinion, meandering that i believe that you could remove the first section and the collection would be stronger for it. my favorite of them all is section 2 where he really began to shine, and returned to the things that made me enjoy his poetry in the first place. the final two sections didn’t quite manage to live up to the second, but it was miles better than that first portion.
my personal standouts here are:
the last dinosaur
