A review by nolemdaer
The Book of Nightmares by Galway Kinnell

I liked this more than Siken haha. It fits its name—the repetition of death and life and mystery was indeed nightmarish, but in a way that fit the collection's aesthetic (like the art that accompanies each poem echoing the cover). It definitely gave off those tarot vibes. The stone and rain and song reminded me a bit of JN&MS, but make it less English and eerier. Beautiful, vivid, and tender despite its occasional, wise grotesqueness.
