This collection was a mixed bag for me. Some poems were excellent; for instance, Jones writes about grief with crystal clarity that instantly reveals his deep familiarity with the subject. There was also one poem about the ephemerality of a summer tomato that I keep thinking about. Other poems were less engaging and personal.
