Metres is a great poet, but I couldn't quite get into this entire collection. Isolated poems are brilliant, but I think the collection as a whole may just be too personal for anyone who isn't Philip Metres to truly connect with it. Which is ok. It just makes the book a little less user-friendly, and thus it gets docked a star.

Atkins should not be slept on. A mad laboratory furnished with sounds that cruise and clatter like free jazz.
