I really liked "The Glass Essay" but I mean if you find yourself sad on a moor and don't immediately relate to Emily Brontë then there is something wrong with you.

On the whole rather boring. “The Fall of Rome: A Traveller’s Guide” seems to be in conversation with A Small Place to some extent, although maybe it just seems to me to be so because I’ve just read A Small Place in the past month. I’d like to read an analysis of this poem and will be looking for one. 

“The Gender of Sound” essay was the most interesting part of this collection but I would dearly love to read a response to it by somebody seeking to complicate Carson’s bioessentialist view of femininity.

"The Glass Essay" and "The Gender of Sound" were wonderful, but the rest left me ambivalent
