This collection was a lot of fun! I think the most fun I've had reading through a book of poems?
As somebody who is used to hearing Patois, it was generally easy to read and the comic effect was heightened.
I thought there would be more direct parallels/links between specific Shakespeare scenes and the scenes in this poem, but I still thoroughly enjoyed the scenarios presented.
Also, there's a great introduction by Karina Lickorish Quinn, which I recommend reading at the end!
