i don't really know how to review this. i really struggled with finding the emotion or meaning in lot of the more convoluted poems (lockwood's verse is crass and absurd, populated with owls drinking their own urine) (this isn't an actual poem but it might as well be). they were usually fun and at times fulfilling but overall? i'm not too sure. i had the same question after reading priestdaddy - where the prose style went so above and beyond that i didn't know which way to read it (what was sincere or concerning or a joke). i probably need to read it again slower to figure some things out.
