This is a difficult book for me to rate. I think Corral is clearly a fantastic writer.  The way he plays with form and pulls in other art/places etc into his work is really incredible. But a lot of these poems fell short for me. They weren’t individually memorable, though the collection as a whole is one that will certainly stick with me. This is a collection I’ll have to sit with for a while.
